Fitting Tip of the Month

UV Protection and Contact Lens Wear

Where I live and practice, the sun and the beach define our way of life. As we all do, I counsel my patients about the danger of ultraviolet light to the eyes. Since it is difficult for surfers and other water sport enthusiasts to wear sunglasses all the time, I recommend contact lenses with UV protection. I explain that the protection does not extend to the conjunctiva and lids so sunglasses are still needed, but it does protect the internal parts of the eyes. That's true for any location where the sun shines!
