Eye Alert
Are you are aware just how much damage the sun can do to the eyes if not protected like the skin. Long term effects can lead to blurred/impaired vision, headaches and blindness. Eyes need to be protected at all times because ultraviolet radiation is invisible and over exposure involves risk of developing age-related muscular degeneration. Direct sunlight has us squint hence resulting in early wrinkles. Sunglasses help prevent retinal damage. Not intentionally but some parents although protective of their child's health sadly overlook this. Eye damage usually comes to the fore with age. Also, with the state of the ozone layer and green house gasses - there has never been a better time to look after your eyes..
Sunglasses should protect the eyes from "both" UVA and UVB sunrays. UVA or UV400 = 400 nm the wavelength of UVA radiation (they should block out about 100% UVA rays). And all sunglasses block out UVB sunrays.
Sunglasses come in varied sorts and choosing what is best can prove a problem. Remember to choose wisely with safety in mind rather than the look. Buying sunglasses because they look attractive or of fabulous design, is a bad decision and one you may regret later in life.
