Defend your Eyes from Ultraviolet and Excessive Blue Light with VSP LightCare

Are you aware that UV exposure can be hazardous to your eyes throughout the year, both outside from the sun and indoors from artificial sources such as tanning beds, lasers, and even fluorescent lights?

That is why it is so important to take daily precautions against the negative effects of overexposure. UV exposure from indoor and outdoor sources can damage the eye, yet many people are not fully aware of the danger too much exposure to UV rays cause.

Our eyes are not solely exposed to UV rays; they also absorb blue light rays that surround us throughout the day. In addition to the sun, digital devices like phones, computers, and fluorescent lights emit blue light. Although some amount of blue light can be beneficial by regulating our sleep-wake cycle and providing energy, excessive blue light exposure may contribute to digital eye strain and visual disruption.

Defending your eyes against UV and excessive blue light exposure is essential for maintaining good eye health. VSP^® Vision Care gives you coverage with access to the eye care and eyewear solutions that you need to keep your eyes healthy—including options for reducing excessive blue light.  
 
With VSP LightCare, included as part of your VSP coverage through FEDVIP, you can use your frame allowance for ready-made non-prescription sunglasses or ready-made non-prescription blue light filtering glasses instead of prescription glasses or contacts. So, whether you have a prescription or not, your VSP plan can help you shield your eyes from the effects of UV rays and excessive blue light exposure.
