Summer has a way of bringing everything into sharper focus—longer days, brighter skies, and more time spent outside doing the things you love. But while you’re thinking about sunscreen and hydration, there’s another kind of protection you shouldn’t overlook: your eyes. At our optometry office, we believe that summer is the perfect season to schedule your annual eye exam and upgrade your eyewear to include prescription sunglasses. Not only can we help you see clearly, but we can also help you look and feel your best while keeping your vision safe from harmful UV rays.
When you think of summer, sunglasses probably come to mind—but many people don’t realize the importance of prescription lenses specifically designed to shield your eyes from UV damage. Overexposure to UV rays can lead to a number of long-term eye health issues, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and even growths on the surface of the eye. With prescription sunglasses tailored to your exact vision needs, you won’t have to choose between clear sight and protection anymore. We offer a wide range of stylish, UV-blocking options that fit your lifestyle, whether you're hitting the beach or running errands.
An eye exam is more than just checking to see if you need a new pair of glasses. It’s a comprehensive check-up on your overall eye health. Summer often brings new challenges like allergies, dry eyes from air conditioning, or irritation from swimming pools and sunscreen. During your visit, we assess your visual acuity, screen for eye diseases, and address any seasonal symptoms that might be affecting your comfort or clarity. If you’re experiencing redness, blurry vision, or discomfort after outdoor activities, it’s time to get evaluated before the symptoms interfere with your summer fun.
Kids and teens are especially vulnerable to sun-related eye damage, and summer break is the perfect time to bring them in for a check-up without the stress of missing school. We offer pediatric and teen-friendly exams designed to keep them engaged and relaxed. From catching undiagnosed vision problems to recommending protective lenses for sports and screen time, we make sure your child’s summer adventures are as safe as they are exciting. Vision care now helps prevent complications later, and summer is ideal for establishing healthy eye habits.
One of the best things about summer is the flexibility it offers, and we’ve designed our optometry schedule to match. We offer extended hours and same-week appointments so you can fit your eye exam in between vacations, work, and everything else life throws your way. Our team works hard to make the process smooth and stress-free, from digital pre-screenings to fast turnaround times on lenses. Summer may be busy, but your vision deserves a place on your to-do list.
Prescription sunglasses have come a long way in terms of design and function. Whether you need single vision, progressives, polarized lenses, or blue-light filtering, we can customize your sunglasses to meet both your fashion and function needs. With our large selection of designer and budget-friendly frames, you’ll walk away with eyewear that feels just as good as it looks. It's not just about protecting your eyes—it's about upgrading your summer experience.
Don’t let the brightness of summer catch you off guard. Protect your eyes with a professional exam and stylish, protective eyewear that supports your vision wherever the season takes you. At our office, we’re ready to help you make the most of every sunny moment with clarity, comfort, and confidence. Schedule your summer eye exam today and see the season through a whole new lens.
