Thu, Apr 26, 2018

We protect our skin from the harmful rays of the sun, however we often neglect our eyes. Ultraviolet radiation can cause adverse effects to our eyes. Studies have suggested that prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause increased risk of macular degeneration of the retina (AMD), cataract of the intraocular lens, corneal damage, and ocular adnexal (conjunctival or eyelid) melanomas.

Your optometrist can advise on which type of sunglasses will best protect your eyes for sports or social needs. Children in particular are extremely sensitive, and without protection are all the more susceptible to long term damage. The eyes of a child under the age of 10 transmit more than 75 per cent of UV radiation, compared to 10 per cent in adults over the age of 25.
