It’s June 27th and summer is in full swing. You’ve probably enjoyed at least a few great days dedicated to outdoor fun, but did you know that today is National Sunglasses Day?

Whether you wear sunglasses to appear like a spy or a movie star, it’s important to know why they’re so important. Sunglasses provide protection from harmful UV rays and can even prevent cataracts.

So, grab your favorite pair and head outdoors. If you’ve lost them or broken them (perhaps by sitting on them) stop into your nearest Vistar Eye Center location and pick out some cool new frames.

Remember to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes!
