How can you protect your eyes from sunlight?

Wearing a hat and sunglasses can help us to protect our eyes from sunlight. Sun damages
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 are outside. The sun rays can
pass through haze and thin clouds. Never look directly at the sun because it will damage the
eye’s retina from solar radiation.

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.
