Summer is here, and we are HERE for it. βοΈBut before you head outside, let's talk about protecting those eyes!
UV rays are at their strongest during the summer months, and prolonged exposure can contribute to cataracts, macular degeneration, and even sunburn on your eyes (yes, that's a real thing, it's called photokeratitis π¬).
Here's how to keep your eyes safe all summer long:
- Wear sunglasses with 100% UVA & UVB protection
- Don't forget a wide-brimmed hat for extra coverage
- Wear goggles when swimming, chlorine and bacteria are no joke
- Give your eyes extra love if you wear contacts outdoors
Enjoy every sunny moment, do it safely! ππ Book your summer eye exam at the link in our bio.
