Your eyes face hidden risks every summer – UV rays can cause both immediate and long-term damage. Without protection, you risk conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and even eye sunburn (photokeratitis). The good news? Shielding your eyes is simple with the right strategies:

Wear sunglasses labeled “100% UV protection” or “UV 400” to block harmful rays.
Choose wraparound frames or large lenses to minimize exposure from the sides.
Pair sunglasses with a wide-brimmed hat for extra coverage.
Protect children’s eyes early with UV-blocking eyewear, as they’re more vulnerable.
Use UV-blocking contacts or goggles for added protection during outdoor activities.

March is Save Your Vision Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of protecting your eyesight and maintaining healthy vision at every stage of life.
