Protecting Your Eyes From UV Rays

Every day—sunny or cloudy, Spring through Winter—you are exposed to damaging ultraviolet rays. Though you may not realize it, it’s there—UV radiation is invisible to the naked eye.

Did you know…

  • UV light can “sunburn” the eye’s surface and cause benign yellowish growths on the human eye
  • Prolonged exposure to harmful UVA and UVB radiation over time can contribute to serious, age-related eye conditions or diseases
  • These diseases include cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people over age 60
  • Only lens materials or lens treatments that promise 100% protection against both UVA and UVB rays protect your eyes fully from the harmful rays of the sun. Demand 100% UV protection.

Roseville Patients: After many years of taking care of your eyes and vision, we have made the difficult decision to close our Roseville location doors and merge with our Sacramento location. After April 30, we will no longer see patients in Roseville. You will still be able to pick up existing eyewear orders through May 10, after which they will be transferred to our Sacramento location (5777 Greenback Lane, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95841), or you can request shipping to your home. It’s been a pleasure serving the great community of Roseville, and Dr. Salazar and team look forward to seeing you at Eagle Vision Eye Care – Sacramento.
