Protect Your Eyes from Sun Damage This Summer

Summer sun can be brutal on more than just your skin—your eyes are at risk too. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can increase the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer on the eyelids. Even a single day in bright sunlight without protection can lead to photokeratitis, a painful sunburn of the eye.

Wearing quality sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays is essential. Wraparound styles offer added protection by reducing exposure from the sides. Don’t forget that kids need eye protection too, as their eyes are more sensitive to UV damage.

At Spectacles, Dr. Mapes is dedicated to keeping your vision healthy and your eyes safe. From stylish prescription sunglasses to expert eye care, we’ve got you covered.

Let Spectacles and Dr. Mapes keep you and your eyes safe this summer—because seeing clearly starts with protection.

Another Rainy Day in Houston… Not a Problem.

Rainy days in Houston can turn any commute into a blur of reflections, glare, and frustration—especially behind the wheel. But with polarized sunglasses, you can turn that washout into clarity. Unlike regular lenses, polarized sunglasses cut through glare from wet roads and puddles, sharpening your view and reducing eye strain.

Polarized lenses work by filtering out horizontal light waves that reflect off surfaces, like water or asphalt. The result? Better contrast, crisper vision, and safer driving—even in a downpour.

At Spectacles on Montrose, we offer both prescription and non-prescription polarized sunglasses, so you can stay stylish and see clearly, no matter the weather. Rain in Houston might be inevitable—but squinting through it doesn’t have to be.
