Wear your shades!

Everyone has heard that 80’s song, “The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades.” They aren’t wrong either! Even though we’re technically still in February, there are lots of benefits of great sunglasses, all year through…and Eye LASIK is here today with some of them!

Keep Your Squinting At A Minimum

Bright lights and sun glare can cause you to squint, which is your body’s natural instinct to help protect your eyes. However, while you’re squinting, your eyes will strain in order to be able to see properly. It’s important to rock out some great sunglasses to prevent this issue. Another added benefit of reducing squinting is that it prevents crows’ feet and wrinkles around the eyes!

Divert The Debris

West Texas has crazy weather, with changes from moment to moment. There’s always a lot of dust, pollen, and other things blowing around in the crazy wind storms…and sunglasses can help prevent a good portion of that from getting into your eyes! This debris not only causes irritation, but it can also cause scratches to your eyes or infections if your eyes aren’t properly flushed out.

Say Bye-Bye To Dry Eye

Wearing shades can significantly reduce the possibility of dry eyes. Dirt and other environmental conditions such as sun, snow, or wind can be a big contributing factor to dry eye. Not producing enough tears can be very detrimental to your eyes and can cause scratches and further irritation. Sunglasses prevent a great deal of these irritants from even entering your peepers.

Best Of All…You Look Awesome

Sunglasses are a great accessory! Not only are they a great way to keep your eyes protected, they can make you look polished and finish of your look. From aviators to cat eyes, wayfarers to oversized shades…sunglasses provide safety for your eyes and an excellent fashion tip.

While we’re currently in the in-between for seasons, Eye LASIK encourages you to wear sunglasses year-round! Protect your peepers and rock your outfit with some great shades!
