It is important to protect your eyes from sun damage when working outdoors in the hot summer sun. After all, any amount of time in the sun can expose you to a variety of eye complications, such as cataracts and cancer. What’s more, sunlight reflecting off of sand or
water can further elevate your exposures and increase your risk of developing eye problems, including vision loss and light sensitivity. That’s where sunglasses can help. According to the American Center of Ophthalmology, wearing the right sunglasses is a great defense against ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause short- and long-term eye damage. That’s why it’s important to choose the right kind of sunglasses to properly protect your eyes.
