Pharmacy Staff Note
“These are a really practical option for anyone who wears prescription glasses and finds themselves squinting in bright weather, or who’s put off by the cost of prescription sunglasses. Proper UV protection matters for eye health over the long term — not just comfort in the moment — so it’s worth having a pair to hand, particularly for driving or longer periods outdoors in strong sunlight.” Siun Daly Ballyduff Pharmacy
