Sunglasses for Alberta’s Blue Skies
In Alberta, we’re lucky to have clear blue skies that stretch for miles. But whether it’s a bright, sunny day or a Chinook rolls in, bringing clouds and shade, the weather here can change in an instant. Sunglasses are a must-have to shield your eyes from the shifting light and harmful UV rays.
For personalized advice on UV protection and finding the right fit, book an appointment with Dr. Bishop & Associates. Explore our online store to find a range of stylish, protective sunglasses and accessories!
Are Your Sunglasses Protecting Your Eyes?
Not all sunglasses provide the same protection. Look for glasses that block 99–100% of UVA and UVB rays and filter 75–90% of visible light. A UV 400 label ensures 100% UV protection.
Size and fit also matter—larger frames cover more area, and a secure fit helps prevent slipping and gaps that let in UV rays and dust. If you’re unsure about your sunglasses’ quality or fit, ask our Optometrists for advice.
The Impact of UV Radiation on Eye Health
Sunglasses protect more than just your comfort on bright days—they shield your eyes from potential long-term damage caused by UV exposure. Here are a few conditions that can develop from repeated UV exposure:
- Cataracts
- Light sensitivity
- Macular degeneration
- Photokeratitis (cornea sunburn)
- Pterygium (opaque cornea growth)
- Pinguecula (small yellowish bumps on the white of the eye)
Wearing UV-blocking sunglasses can help you enjoy the outdoors without risking your eye health.
