There are now contact lenses available that provide some protection from the sun's rays. You wouldn't wear them instead of sunglasses, but they can provide added protection and are especially beneficial for people whose sunglasses have the smaller lenses that are popular now. Talk to your optometrist or ophthalmologist to find out whether you're a candidate for this type of contact lens. It may sound strange, but exercise and good eye care are related.
