Sunglasses in Amarillo, TX

Stylish Protection from the Sun

You’re probably aware of how damaging the sun’s rays are to your skin, so you likely wear sunscreen if you’re planning on spending time outside. But did you know that the sun can cause damage to your eyes as well?

Exposure to UV radiation, either while outside, at work, or using tanning beds, can increase your risk of developing cataracts, eye cancer, corneal burns, or growths like pterygia or pingueculas.

One way you can protect your eyes from UV light is by wearing sunglasses. Not all sunglasses are effective, so always make sure you’re only selecting ones that block 100% of UVA and UVB light.

Whether you’re looking for a new pair of prescription or non-prescription sunglasses, we can help you find the most comfortable and stylish pair that protects your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.
