Did you know that harmful UV rays can damage your eyes even on cloudy days? It’s true! While we often think of protecting our skin from the sun, our eyes need just as much care. Investing in high-quality sunglasses and optical glasses with UV protection is essential for maintaining optimal eye health year-round.
Why is UV Protection Crucial?
- Prevent Serious Eye Conditions: Exposure to UV radiation is a leading cause of several eye conditions, including:
- Cataracts: Clouding of the eye’s lens that can impair vision.
- Macular Degeneration: Damage to the central part of the retina, leading to vision loss.
- Photokeratitis: Painful sunburn of the eye, often referred to as “snow blindness.”
- Pterygium: A growth on the eye that can affect vision.
- Maintain Eye Health and Youthful Appearance: UV rays can accelerate ageing around the eyes, causing wrinkles and skin damage.
