Summer Heat and Your Sunglasses
Driving
presents a challenge to eyeglass wearers, specifically the need to switch to
prescription sunglasses on a sunny summer day.
Purchasing a high quality sunglass lens, with a high quality
anti-reflective coating, is just as important as having a premium eyeglass
lens. While driving, you will need to
move your head a lot and focus on both the near objects on the dashboard, as
well as the distant objects while driving.
You will also need every tool possible to avoid the sun’s glare and the
danger it causes.
Many
people leave their sunglasses in the car all of the time, as that is where they
are most likely to be used. This
presents a unique challenge in warm climates, because many lens coatings can
sometimes crack or peel when exposed to the harsh temperatures inside your car
on a hot summer day. At Memphis Family
Vision, we urge our patients to take advantage of the highest quality lens coatings
we offer, as they are less likely to crack or peel when exposed to the high
heat inside your “oven on wheels.”
