Sunwear
Clarkson Eyecare has one of the largest selections of sunglasses in the St. Louis area.

As the prevention of skin cancer has gained greater awareness, more and more people are taking time to lather on sunscreen before they enjoy their favorite outdoor activities. However, reaching for your sunglasses should also become a habit as you walk out the door.

According to the American Sun Protection Association (ASPA), over-exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation is a leading cause in the development of cataracts and macular degeneration, both of which can cause blindness later in life. Sunglasses have the capability of reducing the amount of UV rays to the eye by 80%.

Not all sunglasses are created equally. Currently, there are no industry standards on the amount of UV that sunglasses must block. According to the Doctors of Clarkson Eyecare, you should look for sunglasses that are labeled as providing either 99% or 100% UV protection. Another acceptable label may say "UV absorption up to 400 nm", as this amount of coverage is equivalent to blocking at least 99% UV.

Clarkson Eyecare has Sun Centers to provide patients with high quality UV protection sunglasses. Many of the Sun Center sunglasses are also available in prescription lenses. Brands such as Anne Klein®, Maui Jim®, Ray Ban®, and Oakley® provide ample UV protection in trend setting styles. Committed to eye health and safety, Clarkson Eyecare believes that getting in the shade never goes out of style.
