  I think the UV coating is not as effective as sunglasses.As the lens is clear ,they can't block the 100% lights as the tinted lenses do.

  It is the base curves that determine what size you need for contacts,so you need an eye exam.Your eyes are so important,if you get an improper fit,you may get eye infection or poor corneal nutrition.

  A punching in the eye can cause serious damage.It may be retinal detachments or bleeding.It is not late to have an exam to determine what the problem is.Just go to your doctor and have an exam.

• Do I still need eye exam if I have perfect vision?

  Since you are over 40, you'd better have an eye exam every year though you have perfect vision. People who get old have more chance of suffering eye diseases. such as presbyopia, glaucoma and cataract. To keep your eyes healthy, you should have an eye exam at least once a year.
