Did you know it is important to protect your eyes from harmful UV light? Ultraviolet radiation can cause serious damage to sensitive tissues of our eyes. Here are the top 5 reasons to protect your eyes from the sun...
1. Cataracts
The #1 leading cause of vision loss in the world. Typically due to cumulative UV exposure over our lifetime. Current treatment is limited to surgical removal and replacement with an artificial lens.
The #1 leading cause of vision loss in the United States. Subject to genetic predisposition and made rapidly worse due to smoking and UV exposure. Don't smoke, protect from UV.
Yellow tissue growths on the whites of our eyes due to sun exposure. They can eventually grow over the cornea and block vision if left unprotected. Also responsible for increased astigmatism. Very common in areas closer to the equator.
Unfortunately, the eyelid region is one of the most common areas for skin cancer. Specifically, the lower eyelids which are more frequently exposed to sunlight from above.
NEVER EVER stare directly at the sun. The UV rays from the sun are strong enough to literally burn a hole in your eye. Unfortunately, some have found out the hard way that retinal tissue does not grow back.
