Eye Protection
Did you know that sun exposure is associated with the development of cataracts, yellowing of the eyes and can damage the retina? This can happen to anyone – which makes it important to monitor your vision’s health through regular eye exams. Urban Optique is able to check if your favorite eyewear provides the protection you need from UV through measuring them for UV absorption. We offer Nikon Lenses that have a built-in UV 400 cut off for ideal sun protection.
Eye Conditions & Disease
Eye problems can range from being mildly irritating to signaling a serious disease and even inability to legally drive. Some of these problems may resolve on their own while some may be chronic. Your eyes are susceptible to issues such as cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma, spots, floaters, retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy and dry eyes.
Many of these eye problems are preventable by simply educating yourself and receiving regular eye exams. If your eyes don’t look, feel, or see well, book an appointment and one of our experienced optometrists will take care of your most valued sense.
