UV Eye Protection is a Must
Sun Protection is a fact of life™
The uv eye protection provided in sunglasses is a must today if you want healthy eyes. More than ever before, we understand the negative effects that the sun's rays can have on our eyes.
Our eyes can be permanently harmed by repeated exposure to the
UV rays of the sun. These are of the ultraviolet spectra of light and can cause even cancer to occur.
Are you thinking that you are always out in the sun and can handle the exposure?
You probably ride motorcycles without a helmet too don't you? There is probably some damage going on in your eye right now that may turn into a more serious condition one day.
You could even go blind if your eyes get too damaged. Time you used some uv eye protection. Don't be stubborn about this fact or it will be your eyes that lose.
Not so brave now are you?
You now want to learn more about taking care of your eyes better don't you? I thought so. Start by getting a good pair of sun glasses that have a UV rating of around 99 to 100 percent. Make sure to use them anytime you are going to be outdoors for fun or business.
When to Protect Your Eyes
Even walking through the parking lot each day at work can expose your eyes to enough uv rays to damage them over time when you don't protect them. The damage builds up little by little.
So use uv eye protection going to and from your car. It is not just a day at the lake or beach that will harm your eyes if you don't wear your sunglasses.
Another example is if you are working in your garden shield your eyes with your sunglasses and even wear a sun protection hat with a visor on it if need be.
By this you can see that anytime you are out of you house in the great outdoors you need to have your eyes protected from the sun.
You also need to protect your eyes in the wintertime too. The UVA and UVB rays are out then too. There are even special fitting sunglasses to protect your eyes for various sports.
Whether you are playing baseball or skiing you can find a pair that will work such as ski sunglasses.
How Early Should You Start
You should really start protecting your eyes as a child. If the parent does not teach the child though, children often do not wear sunglasses.
If you have kids then you need to lead by example and wear your sunglasses. This way they will more than likely want to emulate you and wear theirs.
You may not be able to completely insure yourself of eye troubles by taking care of your eyes, but you will cut down on them considerably by doing so.
You can lower your risk dramatically especially for the various cancers that can affect the eyes or even Macular Degeneration. So use some
uv eye protection starting now.
