Q: How can I protect my eyes from sand and sun at the beach?

A: Wear wraparound sunglasses with UV protection to shield against harmful rays and wind-blown sand. If sand gets in your eyes, avoid rubbing—rinse with clean water or saline solution instead. Keeping artificial tears handy can also help flush out irritants.
