☀️ Summer sun feels amazing - but your eyes need protection from those UV rays!

UV exposure is one of the leading contributors to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other serious eye conditions. And yes - this applies even on cloudy days!

Here's how to protect your eyes this summer

🕶️ Wear sunglasses with 100% UVA/UVB protection

👒 Add a wide-brimmed hat for extra coverage

🌑 Try to avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours (10am-4pm)

Want to ensure your lenses are made with full UV protection? When you purchase from us, you can count on your lenses to have the proper UV blocking materials and coatings!

Colorado's high altitude means UV exposure is significantly more intense here - up to 30% more than at sea level. Sun protection isn't optional up here!
