May marks UV Awareness Month, coinciding with Lagos’s intensifying sunshine and increasing ultraviolet radiation levels. At Megavision Eye Clinic, our optical specialists provide comprehensive UV protection solutions at our three convenient locations in Ikeja, Yaba, and Akowonjo, helping you protect your eyes while maintaining style and comfort.
UV Damage: An Invisible Threat to Lagos Residents
Lagos’s equatorial position means residents experience some of the highest UV exposure levels globally. Book your UV protection consultation today by calling 08025314335 to safeguard your long-term vision health.
Signs Your Current Sunglasses Are Inadequate
Many sunglasses sold in Lagos markets provide insufficient protection. Watch for these warning signs:
- Persistent squinting despite wearing sunglasses
- Eye fatigue or headaches after outdoor activities
- Seeing halos or glare around bright objects
- Temporary color vision changes after sun exposure
- Redness or irritation following outdoor time
Don’t risk permanent eye damage from substandard protection. Schedule your professional sunglasses consultation at our Ikeja center by calling 08025314335 today.
Serious Conditions Linked to UV Exposure in Nigeria
Research specific to Nigeria’s climate shows accelerated development of:
- Cataracts (developing 10-15 years earlier than global averages)
- Pterygium (tissue growth that can obstruct vision)
- Macular degeneration (leading cause of vision loss)
- Photokeratitis (painful “sunburn” of the eye surface)
- Eyelid cancers and skin damage around the eyes
Protect yourself from these preventable conditions. Book your UV protection assessment by calling 08023132290 now.
