The suns UV rays cause cumulative damage to the internal and external structures of the eye. Proper UV protection has been shown to reduce these harmful effects of sunlight. Visit our office to learn how quality optics can improve your vision while they protect your eyes inside and out.

UV protection can be found in clear lenses, tinted lenses, polarized lenses, or Transitions Lenses.  Conversely, tinted lenses may not have good UV protection which increases the risk to your eyes.  Sometimes the UV protection can wear off of inferior sunwear, leaving you unprotected.  Don't be afraid to ask about the lenses the doctors and staff at SouthWest Vision choose to wear for their own eyes.
