With Memorial Day just a few days behind usm it is a good time to remind everyone about the importance of sunglasses. Whether you have had a laser vision correction procedure or not, protecting your eyes is essential here in sunny San Diego.

It has been found that the sun’s ultraviolet rays (also known as UVA and UVB rays) are very damaging to the eyes and can lead to cataracts as well as macular degeneration.

When choosing sunglasses this summer, Dr. Sandy T. Feldman recommends picking a pair with UVA as well as UVB rated protection. According to the Centers for Disease Control, most sunglasses sold here in the US meet these standards. And, for extra protection, consider wearing a hat or visor as well.
