Set your sights on shades that keep the focus on you and the sun out of those
precious eyes. These eye experts fill us in on the basics about
caring for your eyes while catching some sunscreened rays at
Waterfront Park.

more comfortable, and prettier.”

Frequency of eye exams: “Every child’s eyes should be examined before pre-school,
then every two years. Adults should have theirs examined every two years if no
pathology and as dictated by each condition.”
Why sunglasses are important: “UV light can cause cataracts and is implicated in
causing macular degeneration. Read the tag! Sunglasses should block 98 percent of
UVA and UVB rays.”
Susan is wearing: Tuscany Bela top, $170; Sydney City short, $147, both from the
Jennifer Reale Design. Earrings, $60; necklace, $56. All items available at My
Epiphany, 3741 Lexington Road (502) 895-1128. Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses, $310,
available at Korrect Optical.
Heather Harmon, M.D.ophthalmologist/eye surgeon, Kentucky Eye Care
Biggest eye blunders: “Not protecting their eyes! It is very important to wear
sunglasses when you are outside and to wear protective eyewear for mowing and at-
risk sports such as racquet ball.”
New products/treatments: “There are numerous new advances in cataract surgery,
including bifocal/multifocal implants. Your eye surgeon can help determine if they are
right for you.”
Heather is wearing: Dress by Shoshanna, $374; Peace sign necklace, $176, both
available at Blink Boutique, 3706 Lexington Road, (502) 899-9885. Calvin Klein
sunglasses, $200, available at Kentucky Eye Care,
6400 Dutchmans Parkway, # 125, Springs Medical Center (502) 896-8700.
Kelly Neidiffer, optometrist, VisionFirst (New Albany)
Biggest eye blunders: “Waiting until a problem arises. Most eye diseases can be well
treated if caught early.”
New products/treatments: “New imaging devices such as the optomap assist in
detecting and monitoring the eye’s health.”
How to maintain good eyesight: “A diet rich in antioxidants (beta carotene, vitamins A,
C, E, zinc, and lutein). Wear sunglasses, get annual eye exams, and make your
children wear sunglasses. It is estimated that 80 percent of human sun damage is
done before age 18.”
Kelly is wearing: R Jean blouse, $89; Big Star pencil jeans, $70; necklace, $70. Items
available at Boutique Serendipity. Chanel sunglasses, $410,

Chiaki Gauntt, M.D. neuro-ophthalmology, eye surgeon,
University of Louisville, Department of Ophthalmology &
Visual Science
New products/treatments: “People who have migraines with
photophobia (increased sensitivity to light) can be helped
with a special tint in the glasses. It is called FL-41.”
Why sunglasses are important: “UV protection is important
to reduce risks of cataracts and retinal problems. People
with blue eyes especially need to use good sunglasses as
often as they can.”
Chiaki is wearing: Dress by Shoshanna, $396; ring, $275, available at Blink Boutique.
Sunglasses, Daniel Swaroviski, $725, available at Korrect Optical.
