Studies show that long-term exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of cataracts , macular degeneration, and growths on the eye, including cancer. This is just one of the many reasons that Optos testing is our “standard of care” for all comprehensive eye exams. We don’t want to miss ANYTHING regarding the health of your eye, and that starts by having our doctors study excellent images of your retinas (and ensuring there’s no sun damage to your eyes).

Did you know that UV rays reflected off sand and water can actually cause your eyes to sunburn, potentially resulting in temporary blindness in just a few hours? We bet you didn’t know that! That’s why it’s even more important to have the right eyewear – eyewear that protects from these harmful rays. And we’re willing to bet that those dollar-store frames aren’t going to cut it.

In support of UV Safety Month (every July), the American Academy of Ophthalmology reminds the public of the importance of shielding eyes from the sun’s harmful rays with 100% UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hats.

While we’ll leave the right hats to the fashion industry, Brenart Eye Clinic carries sunglass lines that are ideal in providing the protection you and your family need. And don’t forget the KIDS need sunglasses too – quality UV protection is especially important for them!

We encourage you to stop in (and know you’ll be surprised by our amazing inventory and deals!) Our optical shop carries both designer lines and economy sunglasses and KNOW we can keep your families’ eyes safe from all those harmful rays this summer.

In addition to well-known brands like Ray-Ban, Michael Kors, Maui Jim or Lindberg…. we also encourage you to research one of our specialty brands INVU – offering some of the best polarized sunglass lenses in the industry… (yes, we carry those too!).

Come in to our optical shop today… we’ll hook you up with the perfect pair!
