Eyewear has become a fashion trend and is used to make a statement.  Glasses and sunglasses are not only essential to optometric healthcare, but have also become accessories in the fashion industry.

As necessary as sunshine is, it can be equally as dangerous and UV protection through sunglasses becomes critical .  Just as our skin needs shelter from the suns UV rays in the form of sun screen, our eyes need protection from UV rays in the form of sunglasses.  Ultraviolet light can do severe damage to eyes and their health over time.  Cataracts can form, macular degeneration can worsen, and tissue on the front of the eye can begin to break down and grow over the cornea causing obstruction of vision.

Sunglasses are the primary accessory offered which are critical in maintaining eye health.  Island Eyecare carries Maui Jim, Fendi, Coach, Versace, Nike, Oakley, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and several other brands of sunglasses that will not only protect your eyes from the sun, but also look good doing it.
