This morning Dr. Lewis was interviewed on Good Day Colorado by Shaul Turner. "We are trying to educate Coloradans about the harmful and cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) light." The interview was done in response to a new product - Fitovers - non-prescription sunglasses that fit over a standard pair of glasses.

Fitovers have several positive features: They block UV light in the 400nm range and thus help protect the retina/macula, diminish glare because they are polarized, are made of polycarbonate and are, therefore, shatter proof, protect the skin around the eyes due to their size, are fashionable and are inexpensive (~$50.00). The lenses are a great substitute for buying a separate pair of prescription sunglasses and have been particularly well received by fishermen and other sports enthusiasts.

You will be surprised at Fitovers' comfort and convenience. Visit the Cherry Creek Optical located on the first floor of the Cherry Creek Eye Center to look at your Fitover options.
