It is easy to overlook your eyes. Wearing Transitions®
Lenses, color changing lenses which adapt to changing light, will help you to
protect your eyes. Most people agree that sight is the sense they rely on the
most. Seeing 20/20 is great, but healthy eyes are even more important since
that will keep your vision sharp and clear.
With ordinary clear lenses your eyes have to constantly adjust to
changing light. Your pupils dilate and your eyes squint. It does not seem like
much, but over the course of the day it can all add up to cause eyestrain and
fatigue. Transition lenses filter the light for you so your eyes do not have to
work as hard, allowing your eyes to stay relaxed and comfortable all day long.
You cannot see or feel UV rays, but they are present all year long. And just
like your skin, your eyes need protection. Damage from UV exposure is
cumulative, building every time your eyes are exposed to the sun. Research
shows that UVA and UVB rays may contribute to short-term vision impairment as
well as to potentially serious age-related eye problems, like cataracts and
macular degeneration. The good news is that wearing transition lenses will help
protect your eyes by blocking 100% of invisible UVA and UVB rays.
