Do I need sunglasses if I wear UV-adsorbing contacts?

UV Contacts Don't Protect Like Sunglasses

If you wear contact lenses that adsorb UV rays, you may think you don't need sunglasses, but think again. The contacts only protect a very small portion of your eye. You need a good pair of sunglasses to protect the rest of the eye from UV ray damage. A good pair of sunglasses is really a small investment to make in your overall eye health.
