Eye Protection with Sunglasses

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Summer is here, and that means the sun’s UV rays are out in full force! While that means beautiful weather and bronzed skin, it is important to remember to protect our eyes from potential damage. Extended UV exposure has been linked to cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis, an inflammation of the cornea which can cause temporary vision loss that may last for up to 48 hours. The sun reflecting off sand and water increases the UV rays that people are exposed to, and the peak hours for the sun’s rays are 10AM to 4PM. Combine those facts with long beach days and you have a recipe for disaster!

Make sure your sunglasses offer 99 to 100 percent UV protection, which covers both UVA and UVA rays. And don’t forget about the sides of your glasses! Wide frames ensure that the sun can’t filter in and be reflected into your eyes. Try a pair like this and rest assured your eyes will be protected from all angles:

A pair with large, bright frames work double duty to protect your peepers while complementing your favorite bikini. Turquoise is the perfect color to celebrate crashing waves and poolside barbecues.
