It’s actually very serious business, more serious than most people realize. Over time, UV rays can in fact, lead to diseases of the eye like cataracts (opaquacity in the membrane covering the pupil causing a decrease in vision), macular degeneration (discoloration of the cornea), or even cancer, that may require surgery or worse yet, be irreversible. And if your eyes are normally sensitive to bright light and the sun’s rays anyway, you may be headed for even more trouble if you don’t wear sunglasses.
You know how bright the sun can be when it reflects off the snow and hits your eyes – it hurts, right? Add in the ultraviolet element and there you have it. But by simply putting on a pair of sunglasses, you can not only avoid the discomfort of the sun’s bright and harmful UV rays reflected on your eyes, but you’ll also be preventing the possible onset of eye distress such as disease as well. So you see, sunglasses work double-duty (or even triple-duty if they compliment your appearance – wink, wink).
And don’t forget the kids. Even though children look adorable and make us smile when they put on a pair of cute, child-sized sunglasses, their eyes actually need protection the same as everyone else’s. So don’t hesitate to pick them up a pair the next time you’re passing by the kiddie styles and you hear those three little words – “I want that!” because you’ll actually be doing a good thing in consideration of their eye health.
