Sunlight can damage your eyes
August 8th, 2010 - 3:32 am ICT by IANSLondon, Aug 8 (IANS) Sunlight doesn’t just damage your skin, it can also ruin your eyes and increase the risk of cataract and damage to the retina.
The best way of protecting eyes is always to wear quality sunglasses, reports express.co.uk.
A research in Britain has, however, found that over 60 percent of Britons are influenced by fashion and price rather than whether or not the glasses are effective.
Protecting children’s eyes is especially important, yet nearly half of parents put cost ahead of protection.
Good sunglasses don’t have to be expensive. People should just look for those that ensure a safe level of ultra-violet ray protection.
