Did you know that
sunglasses are a “must wear” item! The skin around the eye is delicate, and an area of some of the
thinnest skin on the body making it more susceptible to damage. Ultraviolet (UV) light from
the sun can damage not only the skin, but also the cornea, lens and other
parts of the eye. Specifically UV damage can cause solar keratitis-an
inflammation of the cornea, cataracts and even eyelid skin cancer. Sunglasses help to prevent skin cancer around
the eyes and good shades also guard against vision loss as if you wear
sunglasses, you decrease your risk over your lifetime of cataract formation.
Invest in fashion-bigger is better! But, be sure to choose sunglasses that offer
broad spectrum coverage, specifically protection against UVA and UVB rays. Be
stylish and be safe! Learn more about UV eye protection &
