☀️ Summer Sun & Your Eye Health – Why UV Protection Matters ☀️
Many people remember to protect their skin during sunny weather — but often forget that UV radiation can also damage the eyes.
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light has been linked to a number of eye health concerns, including:
👁️ Increased risk of cataracts
👁️ Long-term retinal damage from UV exposure
👁️ Photokeratitis (“sunburn” of the eye)
👁️ Dry, irritated, watery eyes
👁️ Increased glare sensitivity whilst driving
👁️ Eye fatigue and visual discomfort outdoors
Children and older adults can be particularly sensitive to UV exposure, and repeated daily exposure over many years may contribute to cumulative eye damage.
That’s why quality sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory — they are an important part of protecting your long-term eye health.
At the Eye & Hearing Centre, we recommend sunglasses that provide:
✔️ Full UV400 protection
✔️ High-quality optical clarity
✔️ Polarised lens options to reduce glare
✔️ Prescription sunglass options for clearer vision outdoors
