And, because the cumulative effects are dangerous to our eye health, it&#8217;s never too early to start wearing sunglasses either. Children should be encouraged to wear sunglasses as early as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here are just a few of the serious risks to our eye associated with UV damage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Cataracts<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0a clouding of the eye&#8217;s lens that can blur vision. An estimated 20% of cases are caused by extended UV\u00a0exposure.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Macular degeneration &#8211;<\/b> Results from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sneadeye.com\/macular-degeneration-fort-myers\/\">damage to the retina<\/a> and can destroy central vision. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in the United\u00a0States.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Pterygium &#8211;<\/b> a tissue growth over the white part of the surface of the eye that can alter the curve of the eyeball. This causes\u00a0astigmatism.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not all sunglasses are created equal and it pays to purchase well. Look for glasses that block out 99 to 100% of both UVA and UVB radiation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>SNEAD EYE GROUP<\/b> has a large selection of quality sunglasses.\u00a0 Better yet, use this coupon for<b>\u00a020% OFF sunglasses in our optical department!<\/b>\u00a0 Just show this email to a SNEAD optician or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sneadeye.com\/sunglasses\/\"><span class=\"s2\">CLICK HERE<\/span><\/a> to download a printable version.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sneadeye.com\/optical-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">To view this Snead Insights article in its full form, Click Here!<\/a><\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":256137,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[56,110,231,50,108,225],"class_list":["post-2100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-snead-insights","tag-cataracts","tag-macular-degeneration","tag-pterygium","tag-snead-eye-group","tag-snead-insights","tag-sunglasses"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/256137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.advertisingfortmyers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
