By LadyLively on July 18, 2017
To prevent skin damage, you apply sunscreen. But how can you protect your eyes from the summer sun’s glaring rays?
The American Academy of Ophthalmology advises:
- Wear sunglasses that block ultraviolet (UV) light. Look for glasses labeled as “100% UV protection.” Styles that wrap around your head may offer added protection.
- Wear a hat with a wide-brim.
- Keep yourself and your kids out of direct sunlight during peak local hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Your eyes always need dalight protection — even on cloudy days and during winter.
