Protect Your Eyes from Solar Radiation

Paula Fernandez, O.D.

Most are aware of the harm Ultraviolate (UV) radiation can do to the skin, but many may not realize that exposure to UV radiation can harm the eyes or that other components of solar radiation can also affect vision

The longer the eyes are exposed to solar radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions later in life such as cataracts. Since it is not clear how much exposure to solar radiation will cause damage, the AOA recommends wearing quality sunglasses that offer UV protection and wearing a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you spend time outdoors.

To provide adequate protection for your eyes, sunglasses should:

• block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation;

• screen out 75 to 90 percent of visible light;

• be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection.

If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames can provide additional protection from the

harmful solar radiation.

Don’t forget protection for children and teenagers. They typically spend more time in the sun than adults. Content developed and used with permission by the American Optometric Association.

Indications for Use: The TRULIGN Toric Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens is intended for primary implantation in the capsular bag of the eye for the visual correction of aphakia and postoperative refractive astigmatism secondary to removal of a cataractous lens in adult patients with or without presbyopia who desire reduction of residual refractive cylinder with increased spectacle independence and improved uncorrected near, intermediate and distance vision. Warnings: Careful preoperative evaluation and sound clinical judgment should be used by the surgeon to decide the risk/benefit ratio before implanting a lens in a patient. Some adverse events which have been associated with the implantation of intraocular lenses are: hypopyon, intraocular infection, acute corneal decompensation, and secondary surgical intervention. Safety and Precautions: Do not resterilize; do not store over 45°C. ATTENTION: Please see Directions For Use for important safety information.

Cataracts are a clouding of the lens inside of the eye. It is a process that happens to everyone as they age. As a result cataract removal is one of the most common operations performed in the United States. Modern Cataract Surgery is done through small incisions that do not require a stitch or suture. An ultrasound probe is used to remove the cataract and a lens implant is inserted in its place. The procedure is painless and most patients return home and resume most normal activities the same day.

Over the past decade cataract surgery has advanced and new technologies have made the procedure safer and more reliable. Many patients have become less dependent on glasses as a result of surgery.

While cataract surgery is a very common procedure, we understand that no procedure is routine when it

is your eye. Our patients are offered surgical consultations, scheduled in longer increments so that our surgeons can spend the necessary time with their patients. Education on surgical options is provided through videos, literature, and most importantly, uninterrupted time with the surgeons.

Our doctors and staff remain accessible throughout the pre- and post-op period to answer additional questions. Since some options require out-of-pocket expense, we also work to create a no pressure environment so that you can make the right

decision for yourself.
