When most people think of sunglasses, they envision high fashion and style. However, prescription sunglasses from Dr. Dorothy Park & Associates in Columbia, SC can give you the best of both worlds: function and form. Let us take a closer look at why prescription sunglasses are the premier way to maintain good eye health.
In addition to the light you see when viewing your favorite electronic device, blue light is everywhere. And it can have a negative impact on your eye health as well as contribute to eye conditions like macular degeneration. One way to prevent this is to wear prescription sunglasses to block out high-energy visible blue light.
Whether you spend a lot of time in the sun because you work outside or you just love the warmth, you may be at an increased risk of developing cataracts. Did you know you could significantly reduce your likelihood of developing cataracts by limiting your eye's prolonged exposure to the sun? If you're like most of us, this is 't really practical. However, with prescription sunglasses, you continue your sun exposure and reduce the risk. Prescription sunglasses can help block those harmful Ultraviolet B (UVB) and Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays that can lead to cataracts.
Every time you squint from bright light, you help expedite the signs of aging by bunching the delicate skin around your eyes. This can cause you to develop premature lines and wrinkles around the outside of your eyes. However, when you wear prescription sunglasses, you can reduce the amount of required squinting and maintain a more youthful appearance.
Perhaps, you love the way you look in your spectacles, or you are not too keen on wearing contact lenses. However, when you wear your glasses, you do not get the same blue light, UVB, and UVA protection. And wearing your glasses underneath your sunglasses isn't' practical. Fortunately, you do not have to. At Dr. Dorothy Park & Associates, you can choose prescription sunglasses that you can wear around the clock to enjoy the protection you desire with ultimate flair.
