Are you familiar of ultraviolet light?
While almost all of us are aware of its damaging effect on our skin. Some of us are not aware that it could also damage our eyes. Latest medical finding shows that UV light can actually harm our vision in the later life.
Some people who spend moderate amount of time under the sun without proper protection can have serious eye complication. UV light exposure can lead to eye muscular degeneration (leading cause of blindness), cancer and cataracts. Eye specialist also found out that even short term exposure to UV could lead to pain, irritation and sensitivity of the eyes.
How to protect our eyes.?
Keep out of the UV light if possible. As much as possible try avoiding the sun from 10am to 4pm. This is the time when UV is so intense.
Wear a hat, cap or something that can cover you from the UV light. A hat can actually protect you from sunburn on the head and reduces the amount of UV that strikes your eyes.
Wear protection for your eyes. Wear shades that are coated with UV protector. They act as sunscreen in the eyes, they reduced or totally block 100% of UV light.
Remember our eyes are so important. Take good care of them as much as you care for your skin. Protect them from UV light.
