Living in Florida subjects us to high amounts of UV exposure. Volusia Eye Associates is proud to now offer prescription as well as non-prescription sunglasses at our optical boutique. Now, you can receive your sunglasses at the same place you receive your advanced eye care services.
Our eyes are sensitive. Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to a variety of ailments, some of which can be minor but equally as painful and irritating such as a migraine. Other issues can cause more serious and adverse effects such as Pterygium (Surfer’s eye), Cataracts, Glaucoma, or Macular Degeneration. Prevention is always the key to safeguarding our eyes, and sunglasses can provide full protection against the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Volusia Eye has the perfect pair of sunglasses for your face, vision and lifestyle! We offer a selection of sunglasses from top brand names like Maui Jim, Wiley X, and more. Prescription sunglasses are a great way to ensure that you can see clearly, and also have the correct UV protection. In addition, polarized lenses are a popular choice for fishermen, surfers and beach goers to reduce glare when spending time on the water or relaxing on our bright sandy beaches. Come check out our optical boutique today!
How do UV rays affect my eyes?
UVA and UVB rays can be harmful for your eyes. They can cause cataracts when the proteins inside the natural lens become opaque or cloudy. Cataracts can interfere with your vision and must be removed surgically to improve vision. UV exposure to unprotected eyes can also cause retinal damage, changes in the eye tissues, and a non-permanent, painful condition called photokeratitis.
What are polarized lenses?
Polarized lenses filter out certain types of glare. They are ideal for boaters, fishermen, surfers, golfers, and any other types of outdoor activities.
What types of glasses can I choose from?
We offer the latest styles from Maui Jim, Wiley X, Harley Davidson, and more. Additionally, we can build a custom pair of prescription sunglasses out of any of the optical frames we carry. Come visit our optical boutique at either of our two locations to see what we have available.
What additional types of protection should I consider?
Wear a broad-brimmed hat to reduce sun exposure on your face. If you use prescription eye wear to correct your eyesight, ask about UV-blocking contact lenses
