Product Information

Whether you need prescription correction
or not, EVERYONE needs to protect their
eyes from the harmful ultraviolet rays of
the sun. Ultraviolet rays do to your eyes
what they do to your skin; it burns them.
Even when the sky above is cloudy or
overcast, the ultraviolet rays penetrate
the cloud cover and reach the ground.
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays
has been linked to:

  • Premature Development of Cataracts - Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness and the cause of the vast majority of eye surgery in the United States. Cataracts occur when the Crystalline Lens gradually begins to cloud or turn a milky color, eventually leading to decreased visual clarity.
  • Development of Macular Degeneration - Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in people over 55 years of age. The Macula, located at the center of the Retina at the back of the eye, may break down from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays. Eventually a 'blind spot' develops in one’s vision which may get larger with continued unprotected exposure to the sun.

US Vision offers a variety of Lens Options for Protective Sunwear, from the latest fashions in Non-Prescriptive Sunglasses to a wide variety of frame styles for Prescription Sunwear. All of our Sunwear includes 100% ultra violet ray protection. Consider:

  • POLARIZED LENSES (Great for the Outdoors and being around water. Reduces glare.)
  • TRANSITIONS LENSES (The lenses that change from virtually clear to a grey or brown sunglass tint when exposed to ultraviolet rays. Comfort for every lighting situation!)
  • TINTS (we carry a wide selection of fashion and sunglass tints.)
  • MIRROR COATINGS (Reduce glare and add a fashion statement!)
