Benefits of Wearing UV Sunglasses

There are several benefits of wearing prescription sunglasses that your optometrist likely has shared with you. Sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement and are an important way to protect your eyes. You can get a clear and crisp vision under the sun. Glasses can be used to banish the sun, especially if you are more sensitive to glare.
 

Prescription sunglasses are a one-stop solution to many problems. You may not be able to wear your contact lenses each day, whether it is because of allergies, not enough sleep, or your eyes just need a break. UV rays are present every day, even when it is cloudy, so there is always an opportunity to wear sunglasses. With your prescription sunglasses, you can have a function and still see clearly.
 

Types of Lenses Available

When you get prescription sunglasses in Fremont, they will be specially made for you so you can choose the right material for your lenses.
 

Polycarbonate lenses are a good choice if you are active or play sports since they are more impact resistant. Polarized glasses can help neutralize the glare so you can have a more comfortable vision in every situation. Photochromic lenses are smart lenses that will lighten or darken automatically depending on the amount of sunlight you encounter.
 

There are also scratch-resistant lenses if you are prone to dropping your sunglasses, to protect them. There are also different colors available. Gray lenses may be the best since they will not change colors. Brown and green lenses can also be good options. Discuss your concerns with an optometrist about the right type of lens.
 

In addition to choosing the types of lenses, you will also need to pick the frames. Bigger frames or wraparound styles can give you better UV protection.
