Protect your eyes this summer! ☀️👁️
July is UV Eye Safety Month! Did you know that too much sun exposure can increase your risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even eye cancer?
Just like we protect our skin, it’s important to protect our eyes, especially during the summer months. Simple steps like wearing a wide-brimmed hat, choosing sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, and using protective eyewear when working outdoors can make a big difference.
Let’s keep our eyes safe and our vision strong all year long!
