Polarized glass does not inherently block UVA light, and possibly not UVB as well. Polarized glass works by blocking all light except that which shares a certain directional property. This translates to about a 80-95% reduction in total light, depending on the “narrowness” of the filter, but light of most colors, including ultraviolet, are all let through.

Plastic lenses actually absorb most UVA and UVB light, and most optical plastic is meant to do so. In addition, many glasses have plastic UV blocking coatings on them, but unless you asked when you bought your sunglasses, there is no sure way of knowing if this is the case.

Looking for time frame after a vitrectomy for eye to be healed to do other possible lens surgery.

My mom is not a candidate for lasik eye surgery, but she can have eye surgery, which she is kind of scared to have. She has concerns. She would also like to have cataract surgery. I guess that is when they input an implant to make the eye area look younger and healthier. What would be the right thing to do? Which procedure should she have first? I am asking because I know that both procedures may cause swelling, inflammation, some negative effects… Who can she ask about this? Is it safe?
