😎☀️ Did you know your eyes are exposed to UV rays every single day—even when it's cloudy or cold?

🕶️ 1 in 4 Americans rarely or never wear sunglasses, leaving their eyes unprotected.
🌧️ 2 in 3 skip UV protection on cloudy or rainy days.
❄️ 3 in 10 don't protect their eyes in the winter, even though UV rays are still present!

➡️ And here’s a surprising fact: 40% of UV exposure happens when we’re NOT in direct sunlight!
Reflected UV light from water, snow, sand, and even grass can be just as damaging.

👁️ UV exposure can lead to:

Sunburned eyes

Cataracts

Age-related macular degeneration

✅ Protect your eyes 365 days a year with proper sunglasses that block 100% UV rays.
🛍️ Look for UV protection labels and buy from reputable sources.

🗻 At Black Diamond Eye Care, we care about your vision today—and for years to come.

Tips for Protecting Your Eyes this Summer

🕶Use Sunglasses with Complete UV Protection🕶
Sunglasses are important to wear year round, especially during the summer. But you have to make sure you are wearing the correct sunglasses! Be sure that your sunglasses are marked as 100% Ultraviolet (UV) protection. Protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays will not only keep your eyes healthy, but preserve your vision as well. Don’t forget to wear your sunglasses anytime you are outside–including cloudy days. And if you have a prescription, be sure that your sunglasses you wear are prescription sunglasses.

👒Wearing a Hat? Don’t Forget Sunglasses!
Some people think that a hat is a replacement for sunglasses when shading your eyes from the glare of the sun’s light. But wearing a hat without sunglasses can actually damage your eyes even more. When less light is going into your eyes, your pupils dilate wider, letting in more light. When you shade your eyes with a hat, but don’t wear sunglasses, it’s like leaving the door wide open for harmful UV rays. So if you shade your eyes with a hat, don’t forget to pop on your sunglasses too.

🥕Eat Healthy and Stay Hydrated 💧
Be sure that you are continuing to eat a balanced and healthy diet. Colorful fruits and veggies, as well as nuts, seeds, and omega-3 fatty fish can support your eye health. Also drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Dehydration can lead to eye strain, causing your vision to become blurry, leading to headaches.
