Do you have the right kind of eyewear to protect yourself from serious injury or blindness - or even just daily irritation?

Each year, tens of thousands of people are treated for eye injuries related to the hazards of their jobs, doing chores in the yard or playing sports. Most of these injuries could have been prevented by the right kind of eye protection - including wearing safety glasses, goggles or safety shields.

And for those not exposed to physical dangers, there are coatings that can be added to your regular glasses that protect you from UV rays from the sun and blue light from computer screens.

Ask us about how the right eye protection can help save your sight and what options you have based on your individual needs.
