A member asked:
Is there a type of sunglasses that help protect people with myopia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not specifically: Generally though, good sunglasses block ultraviolet light (a and b) and to some extent the blue spectrum of visible light. These higher energy/higher frequency wavelengths tend to do more damage to the macula (central retina).
