Safeguard Your Vision This Spring and Summer with OptoDoc

As the days grow longer and the sun climbs higher in the sky, it’s crucial to remember the importance of protecting our eyes from the potentially harmful effects of sunlight. At OptoDoc, we understand that your eyes are just as susceptible to sun damage as your skin, and we are here to help safeguard your vision with our range of protective eyewear.

Protecting Against the Sun

Sunlight can be a major contributor to several eye conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, pterygium (commonly known as pingueculums), and chalazia (often confused with chalazion or styes, but actually referring to an eyelid cyst). Moreover, excessive exposure to UV rays without adequate protection can lead to dry eye syndrome, a common ailment in our sunny Alberta climate.

Living in Alberta, where we are situated high above sea level, our community faces a higher risk of these conditions. The thinner atmosphere here allows for stronger UV radiation to reach us, increasing the potential for eye-related health issues.

Our Solutions

To address these challenges, OptoDoc offers a wide selection of sunglasses, contact lenses, and the innovative Transition Generation S lenses. These transition lenses are designed to adapt quickly to changing light conditions—turning crystal clear in about two minutes and fully dark in as little as 25 seconds. Available in eight vibrant colors, including the stunning new Ruby Red, these lenses combine style with practicality, providing protection against UVA and UVB rays as well as harmful blue light.

Transition Contact Lenses

For those particularly sensitive to light, our transition contact lenses offer an ideal solution. These lenses adjust alongside your sunglasses, providing an uninterrupted and comfortable visual experience in varied lighting conditions. This advanced photochromic technology has been perfected over five years, resulting in lenses that respond dynamically to light changes, protecting your eyes without the need to switch between different pairs of glasses.
