National Sunglasses Day! Thursday, June 27th

As the summer season approaches, bringing with it warmer weather and increased outdoor activities, South Jersey Eye Associates (SJEA) is excited to announce its participation in National Sunglasses Day on June 27. In conjunction with The Vision Council, the leading advocate for the optical industry, SJEA will be highlighting the importance of sports sunglasses in protecting eyes from the sun’s harmful rays and enhancing outdoor experiences.

National Sunglasses Day, an annual event established by The Vision Council, aims to raise awareness about the significance of wearing sunglasses for eye health and protection. This year, the campaign will focus on sports sunglasses, encouraging outdoor enthusiasts to gear up with shades before engaging in their favorite activities.

“We’re thrilled to join forces with The Vision Council to celebrate National Sunglasses Day and shine a spotlight on the importance of sports eyewear,” said Dr. Brandon J. Wuzzardo, Owner and Optometric Physician at SJEA. “Whether you’re a professional athlete or a recreational enthusiast, protecting your eyes during outdoor activities is crucial, and we’re dedicated to providing the best eyewear solutions for every lifestyle.”

June is Cataract Awareness Month

Optometric Physician Dr. Russell W. Chappius III presents South Jersey Eye Associates “Eye on Vision” for June.

June is Cataract Awareness Month. Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness among older adults in the United States and more than half of all Americans have cataracts by the time they are 80 years old.

To delay a cataract, we recommend wearing sunglasses and a hat with a brim to block the sun’s ultraviolet rays. If you smoke, please STOP.

Be sure to schedule a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year, where your doctor at SJEA can check for signs of cataract and other age-related eye problems such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Early treatment for these other eye diseases may save your vision.

Contact SJEA today to schedule an appointment to help ensure you and your family have their best vision possible. We look forward to seeing you soon!
