Why is Ultra-Violet (UV) protection important?
Many people routinely take precautions to protect their skin against Ultra-Violet (UV) rays. But most people are unaware of the need to protect their eyes against UV damage. Research indicates that long-term, unprotected exposure to the sun’s UVA and UVB rays can lead to age-related macular degeneration, cataracts and other eye conditions that can compromise the quality of your vision. Most eye care professionals now recommend that people protect their eyes against Ultra -Violet exposure at all times.
