Protecting your eyes from UV Rays

Everyone knows the importance of protecting your skin from the effects of UV Radiation. But what about your eyes?

For most of us, our eyes are the most cherished of our senses, however we tend to forget about the importance of protecting them. Prolonged exposure to sun’s rays can cause serious damage to the eyes and surrounding skin, sometimes leading to vision loss and conditions from cataracts and macular degeneration to eye and eyelid cancers.

The simplest and most effective way to shield your eyes from harmful UV radiation is sunglasses. They reduce UV penetration by up to 100 percent! Eyecare professionals recommend that people of all ages wear sunglasses as often as possible, especially when in direct sunlight.
