Protection & Style All in One
Spending time in the sunshine is something all Canadians enjoy, and we want you to do so safely! Sunglasses can help shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, minimizing your risk of developing various eye conditions.
Too much sun exposure can increase your risk of:
- Cataracts developing early
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Skin cancer on your eyelids
- Corneal sunburn
- Age spots
- Growths on your eye’s surface
Adding a pair of shades to your look can be a game-changer to protecting your eyes from UV damage.
Visit Island Eyecare today to try on your new favourite look.
