UV radiation can damage our eyes over time; protect yourself with sunglasses!
Summer is here; are your eyes protected?
Sunglasses shield our eyes from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Much like how we can get a painful sunburn, our eyes can become red, dry, and irritated without proper protection. If you are outside in the summer for more than 10-15 minutes, we recommend wearing sunglasses.
Patients with chronic sun exposure over many years are susceptible to cataract progression, pterygia (surfer's eye), and macular degeneration. If sunscreen protects our skin, sunglasses protect our eyes.
