Clouds block sunlight, not UV rays. Up to 80% of UV radiation still reaches your eyes on an overcast day. It just doesn't feel as intense because the visual glare and heat are reduced. โ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ
Over time, unprotected UV exposure adds up. It's linked to:
๐๏ธ Cataracts
๐๏ธ Macular degeneration
๐๏ธ Photokeratitis (basically a sunburn on your cornea)
๐๏ธ Pterygium (growths on the eye's surface)
The solution: wear 100% UVA/UVB sunglasses daily - not just on sunny days. โ๏ธ
