Why Sunglasses Are Essential After LASIK or Cataract Surgery
Why Wearing Sunglasses Matters for Eye Health
Wearing sunglasses isn’t just about fashion—it’s essential for protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. Long-term exposure to sunlight without protection can increase the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even eye cancer. Our experts recommend wearing polarized sunglasses year-round, especially after LASIK or other eye procedures.

UV Protection: What to Look for in Sunglasses
Not all sunglasses offer equal protection. Look for labels that say “100% UV protection” or “UV400.” This ensures your lenses block both UVA and UVB rays. Polarized lenses reduce glare, which is especially helpful while driving or being near water. Our clinic offers guidance on selecting medically-approved sunglasses tailored to your vision needs.
Sunglasses After LASIK or Cataract Surgery
After LASIK or cataract surgery, your eyes may be more sensitive to light. Wearing high-quality sunglasses helps speed up recovery and keeps your vision comfortable. We provide recommendations for protective sunglasses to wear during the healing process, including wrap-around and polarized options.
Prescription eye drops help reduce inflammation and dryness during recovery. Ensure regular use as directed to support healing and comfort after surgery.
Polarized sunglasses reduce glare and protect healing eyes from UV exposure. Use during daylight hours to minimize light sensitivity.
