Your Eyes vs. The Sun: What You Need to Know
Just like your skin, your eyes need protection from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. UVA and UVB rays can damage your eyes—UVB rays target the outer layers, while UVA rays go deeper, causing damage to the lens and retina.
And don’t be fooled by cloudy days—UV rays are still out there, leading to dryness, discomfort, and potential long-term vision problems. Keeping your eyes protected isn’t just smart; it’s essential!
The Long-Term Risks of Sun Damage
Spending too much time in the sun without protection can seriously up your chances of developing major eye problems. Here are some of the biggest risks to watch out for:
UV Protection vs. Polarized Lenses: What’s the Difference?
Protecting your eyes from the sun starts with understanding the difference between UV protection and polarized lenses:
- UV Protection: This is all about keeping harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays out of your eyes. Sunglasses with UV protection block UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent long-term damage. Think of it as the must-have baseline for keeping your eyes safe.
- Polarized Lenses: These take it a step further by cutting down glare. Glare happens when sunlight bounces off surfaces like water, roads, or snow, creating harsh light that strains your eyes. Polarized lenses filter out this reflected light, giving you better clarity and contrast.
Both work together to keep your eyes comfortable and protected while you enjoy the sun!
