Stay safe, soak up the season, and get ready for National Sunglasses Day on June 27! Especially when wearing contact lenses, even if they have UV protection. UV-blocking contacts help shield the cornea and inner eye—but they don’t cover the entire eye or delicate surrounding tissues. That means harmful UV rays can still reach areas like your eyelids and the whites of your eyes.
The best protection: high-quality sunglasses! Your future eyes will thank you.
