How can you protect your eyes from sunlight?

For most of us, the eyes are the most cherished of our senses. Yet we potentially expose them to danger simply by going outside. Over time, the sun’s rays can seriously damage the eyes and surrounding skin, sometimes leading to vision loss and conditions from cataracts and macular degeneration to eye and eyelid cancers. However, simple daily protective strategies will help keep our eyes and the sensitive skin around them healthy.
1. Wear protective eyewear any time your eyes are exposed to UV light, even on cloudy days and during winter months.
2. Look for quality sunglasses that offer good protection. Sunglasses should block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UB-B radiation and screen out 75 to 90 percent of visible light.
3. Check to make sure your sunglass lenses are perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection.
4. Purchase gray-colored lenses. They reduce light intensity without altering the color of objects, providing the most natural color vision.
5. Don’t forget protection for children and teenagers. They typically spend more time in the sun than adults.
Additionally, be sure to receive routine comprehensive eye exams. It’s a good way to monitor eye health, maintain good vision, and keep up to date on the latest in UV radiation protection.

Easy and simple, I use sunglasses! But make sure that your eyes are protected from all angles. Choose sunglasses that wrap all the way around the temples and/or wear a hat with a three-inch brim that can block the overhead sunlight.

There are many tips to protect your eyes from the sun:
1.Select sunglasses that block UV rays. Don't be deceived by color or cost. The ability to block UV light is not dependent on the price tag or how dark the sunglass lenses are.
2. Make sure your sunglasses block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays.
3. Choose wraparound styles. Ideally, your sunglasses should wrap all the way around to your temples, so the sun's rays can't enter from the side.
4. Wear a hat in addition to your sunglasses. Broad-brimmed styles provide the best protection for your eyes.
5. Don't rely on contact lenses. Even if your lenses have UV protection, remember to wear your sunglasses, too.
6. Never look directly at the sun. Looking directly at the sun at any time, including during an eclipse, can lead to solar retinopathy, which is damage

Although designed to protect the eye,
the eyelid’s skin is thin and contains many fragile tissues vulnerable to UV light.
Inside the eye, the lens and cornea, both transparent, filter UV rays,
but years of UV absorption can damage them.
The lens, the eye’s focusing mechanism, can turn yellowish and cataractous.
The cornea, the area in front at the outer layer of the eye, admits light and images to the retina.
UV damage can cause.

Follow these tips to protect your eyes from the sun all year long:
-Sun damage to eyes can occur anytime during the year, not just in the summertime, so be sure to wear UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hats whenever you're outside.
-Don't be fooled by clouds: the sun's rays can pass through haze and thin clouds.
-Never look directly at the sun. Looking directly at the sun at any time, including during an eclipse, can lead to solar retinopathy, which is damage to the eye's retina from solar radiation.
-Don't forget the kids and older family members: everyone is at risk, including children and senior citizens. Protect their eyes with hats and sunglasses.

- Wear protective eyewear
You should wear protective eyewear any time your eyes are exposed to UV light, even on cloudy days and in winter months. If you wear UV protective contact lenses, you still need to wear a pair of sunglasses to protect the area of the eye that is not covered by the lens.
