Protecting Your Eyes from the Arizona Sun

Arizona is known for its beautiful sunny weather, but with all that sunshine comes the risk of UV damage to your eyes. Over time, exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other vision issues. Protecting your eyes from the sun is an important part of your eye health routine.

The best way to protect your eyes from UV rays is by wearing quality sunglasses that block 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. Wrap-around styles offer added protection by preventing sunlight from entering from the sides. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat in addition to your sunglasses for even better coverage.

At Desert Oasis Eye Care and Optical, we offer a variety of stylish, UV-protective sunglasses for the whole family. Protect your eyes now to enjoy lifelong healthy vision—come by and see our selection or schedule an appointment to learn more.
