Hello, July! A fresh month full of sunshine, summer fun, and a reminder to protect your eyes. July is UV Safety Month, and it’s the perfect time to stay positively vision focused.

Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat go a long way in shielding your eyes from harmful UV rays. Soak up the sun—safely and protected—and enjoy the benefits of vitamin D3, which supports bone health, immune function, and mood.

July’s beautiful blooms, larkspur and water lily, are just one more reason to enjoy the season with clarity and care.
