Did you know your eyes can get sunburnt too?
As the summer sun blazes, remember to slip, slop, slap AND slide on some sunnies!
Just like your skin, your eyes need protection from harmful UV rays. Without proper eyewear,
you're at increased risk of damaging your vision.
Consistent, unprotected exposure to the sun may lead to issues like cataracts, pterygium (a fleshy growth on the eye), skin cancer of the eyelid, and premature aging around the eyes. Ensure you have a pair of sunglasses with a category 3 for effective UV protection.
Children are also especially vulnerable, so make sure they’re also equipped with UV-protective sunglasses to reduce the risk of developing conditions later in life.
Let’s keep our eyes safe this summer!
