[quote]Sunglasses can put the finishing touches on your dog's summer outfit, and they look so glamorous! But there are more serious reasons to provide sunglasses for your pooch, including prevention of canine eye disease.
Dogs, like humans, are susceptible to a variety of eye problems, some of which are exacerbated by direct UV sunlight and glare. Many dogs are simply photosensitive and squint their eyes in bright light.
In addition to eye disease or sensitivity to light, dog eyeglasses offer protection from foreign objects, like dust or allergens entering the eye. One of my dogs needed sunglasses after he ran into another dog's canine tooth... with his eye. I have another very active dog who had and eye removed because of untreatable Glaucoma. Now that he only has one eye left, I need to protect it!
There are three major designers of dog glasses - sun and regular.
