UV Protection
With summer just around the corner, some contact lens ranges, such as Acuvue, offer additional UV protection, meaning you can enjoy the freedom and flexibility of contact lenses whilst protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays from the sun. Contact lenses with UV protection work by blocking harmful rays and stopping them entering your eyes; combined with UV blocking sunglasses, this provides excellent UV protection for your eyes.
