Hello sunshine!

Choosing the right eyewear for the holiday season

Whether you’re planning your first beach holiday in a while or enjoying a staycation close to home, the countdown to the summer holiday season is officially on!

Make sure you stay safe in the sun and protect your eyes with some stand-out shades which not only look good but offer the right kind of protection for your peepers too.

Specsavers has you covered all year round with sunglasses to suit all tastes, whether that be oversized glamour styles, traditional frames or a sleek pair of aviators.

Regardless of what style you choose, the most important thing is to invest in a pair of shades that also keep your eyes safe in the sun.

What UV is what you get Finding the right sunglasses is important, as not all pairs offer the same protection. Specsavers’ sunglasses all come with the all-important CE mark and the highest rates of UV protection too.

Many people are still unaware of the damage that the sun can pose to not just your skin health, but your eye health too. Did you know that your eyes can also suffer from sunburn? Excessive UV exposure from even small amounts of UV radiation can also increase your risk of developing a cataract or macular degeneration.

If you drive, something else to consider is the danger of sun glare. It can come from sources including low sunlight in spring, reflection of the light on wet roads and dazzling summer sun. The good news is anti-glare driving lenses are available.

It’s also worth remembering that, even inside your car, you’re still at risk of UV ray damage to your eyes. Some car windscreens are designed to block UV rays but it’s always best to get UV400 protection in your glasses.

Specsavers provides lens treatments that you can add to sunglasses and prescription glasses to enhance your comfort and help improve your driving vision. These range from polarising lenses to tints that help to improve contrast perception.
