D'Ambrosio Eye Care raises awareness of the need to protect your eyes from damaging UV rays.
Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) June 01, 2012 - "The summer months in Massachusetts are a great time to be outdoors-walking, hiking, swimming-going to the beach-and just enjoying New England. But, with more exposure to the sun and ultraviolet or UV rays on a daily basis, we need to be reminded to use proper UV eye protection," remarked Francis A. D'Ambrosio, Jr., M.D., Medical Director of D'Ambrosio Eye Care.
Almost everyone is aware of the potential damage that sunlight and ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause to their skin, most people do not know or appreciate that ultraviolet light (UV) can also cause significant damage to eye health and vision. Exposure to UV has been linked to many eye problems and in some instances is thought to quicken the onset of eye diseases such as Cataract, Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), certain cancers on the delicate skin around the eye, Pterygia-a growth of white tissue on the surface of the eye-and even Photokeratitis, a type of sunburn of the cornea. "Most people recognize the importance of using sunscreen lotions and crèmes to protect their skin, but we also need to remember to wear both UV-blocking lenses and a brimmed hat to protect our eyes as well," said Dr. D'Ambrosio Jr.
Today we have wide range of UV protecting eyeglass lenses available to choose from. Eye protection from UV needs to be complete but doesn't have to be overly expensive. High quality sunglasses should block out 99-100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation. It is also important to have UV protection in everyday eyewear, which is readily available with a number of UV blocking eyeglass lens materials, specialized coatings and photochromic lenses. Patients visiting D'Ambrosio Eye Care can speak with our Massachusetts Registered Opticians who are able to provide the proper counseling and fitting of UV protecting lenses and eyewear. These eye care professionals can offer a wide variety of UV blocking lenses, coatings and color changing lenses to keep you safe.
