Stylish Sun Protection

The sun’s UV rays have the potential to damage your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to several eye conditions, including cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, pterygium, skin cancer, and snow blindness.

Sunglasses, particularly those that block at least 95% of UVA and UVB rays, can help to protect your eyes. Regardless of the weather, be it sunny or overcast, UV rays are present. Snow, water, and sand can reflect the sun’s rays and extra caution is needed while at the beach or while skiing.

Considering that 50% of lifetime exposure to UV radiation occurs before age 18, it is also important to protect your children’s eyes from the sun. Our opticians can assist in fitting your child with appropriate protective eyewear.

We carry a large selection of prescription and nonprescription sunglasses for the whole family at Sun Valley Eye Care. From Oakley to Ray-Ban to Maui Jim, our opticians can help you find the perfect pair for both your budget and lifestyle.
