Protecting Your Eyes from UV Rays

It’s easy to skip wearing sunglasses when we don’t have clip-ons or prescription shades, but we really shouldn’t. The UV radiation from the sun has been linked to conditions like cataracts or eye cancers. We owe it to our eyes to protect them.

UV radiation provides the significant benefit of stimulating vitamin A production in our bodies. But on the other hand, those same rays can damage our skin and our eyes. The 2 types of radiation we need to protect ourselves from are UVA and UVB.

Each of these forms of radiation is partially blocked by the Earth’s atmosphere. To protect our skin from these rays, we wear sunscreen. And to protect our eyes, we wear sunglasses.

One thing to consider is that not all sunglasses are made equally. When looking at sunglasses, prescription or otherwise, it’s important to consider their protection rating.
