The Vision Council Foundation, United Opticians Association Partner on UV Awareness Message for National Sunglasses Day

ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The Vision Council Foundation and the United Opticians Association (UOA) have announced a partnership to advance UV safety awareness for National Sunglasses Day, which the groups said reflects their shared commitment to encouraging year-round sunglasses use and celebrating the role that opticians and eyecare providers play in helping people find the perfect eyewear fit. “Protecting your eyes from UV damage is one of the simplest things you can do for your long-term health, and National Sunglasses Day exists to make sure people everywhere know that,” said Ashley Mills, CEO of The Vision Council and The Vision Council Foundation. “The UOA's support means we're bringing that message directly into optical practices across the country, where it can make a real difference.”
