What Does UV Protection in Glasses Actually Do?

Just like sunscreen protects your skin, UV-protective lenses shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays — even on cloudy days! ☁️👓

Why it matters:
- Helps prevent long-term damage like cataracts and macular degeneration
- Reduces your risk of sun-related eye strain
- Keeps your eyes healthy and your style on point

Pro tip: Not all sunglasses are created equal — make sure yours block 100% UVA and UVB rays.

What Does 20/20 Vision Actually Mean?
Spoiler: It’s not superhero vision — it’s normal vision!

Think of it like this:

If you have 20/20 vision, it means you can see at 20 feet what a person with “normal” vision should see at 20 feet.
So if there's a sign 20 feet away, and you can read it clearly, congrats! That’s 20/20.

But if you have 20/40 vision, you'd need to be 20 feet away to see what others can see clearly from 40 feet.
(Translation: You might need a little help from glasses or contacts.)

Want to know your numbers? We can help with that.

Did you know your eyes can get sunburned?

It’s called photokeratitis, and it can be painful.

This Fourth of July, remember that fireworks are not toys but can cause devastating eye injuries if not used properly. Fireworks should only be handled by professionals; they should never be handled by children.

Stay vigilant this 4th of July!

Just because you're not lighting or throwing the fireworks doesn't mean you're safe. 65% of people injured by fireworks are bystanders. When viewing a professional fireworks display, watch from at least 500 feet away.

Keep your eyes peeled so that you can keep them safe.
