6 Key Take Aways About Protecting Your Eyes

We held a sunglasses event in Coleraine and I thought I’d highlight 6 key take aways from that presentation.

1. Did you know your eyes are 10 times more sensitive than your skin?
2. The earlier we protect our eyes the better. Exposure is cumulative. Kids eyes are clearer which means they absorb more UV light.
3. UV index above 3 can damage our skin, especially strongest around midday. This applies even on a cloudy day.
4. SPF for the skin, look at sunglasses as your eye SPF.
5. Cataracts, Age Related Degeneration, Skin cancers are linked with UV exposure. Larger sunglasses give you more coverage.
6. Non-CE certified sunglasses are worse for the eyes than none at all.
