With the start of summer, we’re honoring the importance of eyewear and staying on top of eye health, especially living in the Sunshine State. With chart topping UV ray levels, Oxford Eyes is sharing an easy-to-follow guide on how to protect your eyes. In the end, we want you always seeing clearly!

 

Investing in Blutech

Did you know your eyes are exposed to intense blue light daily, not only from the sun but from device screens and energy-efficient lighting? This poses a potential threat to our retina and leads to digital eye strain, migraines, vision loss, and insomnia from overexposure. Going for BluTech lenses filters out harmful blue light, providing your eyes maximum protection and comfort. Infused with a proprietary treatment rather than a coating that can wear off overtime, BluTech lenses will last you a lifetime.

 

Prioritizing Eye Exams

Staying up to date on your prescription and having your eyes examined once a year is crucial to prevent health conditions and maintain good vision. Oxford Eyes now offers innovative and cutting-edge eye health exams in-house! You will experience a one-hour in-store digital examination with our expert team and select licensed independent eyecare optometrists via eyeQ360. Schedule a private one-on-one exam and customized personal eyewear styling session the same day- the perfect time to pick out a new pair of summer sunglasses. We are ready to serve you and all your eye care needs!

 

Protection Against UV Rays

While soaking up the sunshine this summer, we encourage you to wear polarized sunglasses whenever outside, especially in the early afternoon where UV light is more intense. This will avoid unnecessary irritation and damage, protecting your eyes from cataracts, macular degeneration, and more health conditions. If you’re in the market for a new pair of ‘go-to’ sunglasses, Maui Jim is a perfect option with their patented PolarizedPlus2 lens technology that enhances colors in bright conditions while blocking 100% of all harmful UV rays.
