The Perfect Sunglass Alternative

Summer is here, which means most of us will be spending more time outdoors. When you’re outside on sunny days, you’re unaware your eyes are being exposed to harmful ultraviolet rays. For those of us who wear prescription eyeglasses, the best alternative for sun protection is to purchase prescription sunglasses with UV protective lenses. However, prescription sun wear can be expensive, particularly in these economically challenging times.

The Eye Institute is currently offering a great alternative to prescription sunglasses. They are called Cocoons®. 
“Cocoons” are stylish, specialty sun wear specifically designed for those who wear corrective eyewear. Worn over your own prescription, “Cocoons” offer great features: “Cocoons” have polarizing characteristics, which enhance vision, reduce distortion and eliminate glare.

• “Cocoons” are scratch resistant.
• “Cocoons” lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.
• “Cocoons” wrap around design adds protection from elements such as wind and dust, as well as added UV protection.
• “Cocoons” help reduce eyestrain and allow your eyes to remain relaxed.
• “Cocoons” frames are made from flexible and adjustable plastic with multiple lens’ colors (gray, copper, amber and yellow).
• BEST OF ALL, “Cocoons” are moderately priced - a fraction of the cost of prescription sunglasses.
