Eyeglass World Warns About the Dangers of the Sun to Your Eyes

    NORCROSS, GA, September 06, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Eyeglass World warns individuals about the potentially devastating effects the sun can have on unprotected eyes. Proper sunglasses or prescription eyeglasses with added UV protection can help prevent future eye damage and blindness.

Prolonged exposure to the harmful sunlight can cause a myriad of eye disorders, including surface damage, cataracts, macular degeneration and possible blindness. The risk of these eye disorders can be decreased by wearing sunglasses when outdoors for long periods of time.

"Much of the damage optometrists see can be prevented by continuous use of sunglasses," states Des Taylor, Senior Vice President of Merchandizing for Eyeglass World, a leading retailer for prescription eyewear and sunglasses. "If a person is going to be outside, even children playing, they should all wear protective sunglasses."

Protective sunglasses and prescription glasses should protect the eyes from the harmful ultraviolet rays present, even on cloudy days. Eyeglass World suggests that individuals who will be outside for long periods of time should wear sunglasses the entire time, as well as avoid looking directly at the sun. Both of these can cause damage to the eyes.

Eyeglass World offers a wide variety of top designer brand sunglasses and eyeglass frames. Top designer sunglasses, like Ray-Ban, Dolce & Gabbana, and others, are available at your local Eyeglass World location for a fraction of the cost you might find elsewhere, offering you style and the UV protection your eyes need.

Eyeglass World encourages everyone to get their eyes checked regularly and urges everyone to wear protective sunglasses whenever they are outdoors.
