What better reason to purchase new shades than a holiday dedicated to sunglasses? Many people neglect shielding their eyes from the sun, but our eyes, like skin, are vulnerable to sunburn, and a day outside without proper eye protection can leave you with stinging, red, dry eyes.

Lots of time spent outdoors without protection can cause immediate problems including swollen or red eyes and hypersensitivity to light. Long-term exposure can even result in cancer of the eye or eyelid, and accelerate conditions such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

National Sunglasses Day is held annually on June 27. It is meant to serve as a reminder that sunglasses are a necessity for healthy eyes, and it is important to wear sunglasses or other UV-protective eyewear every day to protect long-term eye health.

So now you have a reason to purchase that new pair of sunglasses you’ve been wanting. Check out our frame selection in our optical shop. At Wiles Eye Center, we carry the most sought after brands on the market, including: Ray-Ban®, Oakley, Maui Jim and much more.
