Understanding UV Eye Damage
UV rays can cause various eye problems, including:
- Cataracts: Clouding of the eye’s lens, leading to vision impairment.
- Macular Degeneration: Damage to the retina, affecting central vision.
- Photokeratitis: Similar to sunburn but affecting the cornea, causing temporary vision loss and discomfort.
- Pterygium: Growth on the white of the eye that can affect vision if it grows over the cornea.
These conditions highlight the importance of protecting your eyes from UV exposure.
Beyond Sunglasses: Proactive Eye Care
While sunglasses are a crucial first step in eye protection, proactive eye care involves more than just shielding your eyes outdoors. Regular eye checkups with a qualified optometrist play a vital role in maintaining optimal eye health. These checkups allow for early detection of eye conditions and ensure your prescription is up-to-date for clear vision.
