At some time or another everyone goes out into the sunshine. Even if you live in an area that has a lot of cloudy weather, you sill have days with full sunshine. To be protected from the harmful rays of the sun people wear hats and sunscreens, some people even wear long sleeved shirts to protect the arms from the sun.
All of those protection steps are great ideas, but there is one more you need to think about. You need a good pair of sunglasses. There are many reasons why you need to wear sunglasses.
Sunglasses stop the harmful glare which can give you a headache after even a short period of time in the sun. If you spend a sunny day working in your garden, without wearing sunglasses, you probably got a headache from that but didn’t realize it was from the sun.
Another reason to wear sunglasses is to protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays. Those UV (Ultra Violet) rays can cause damage to your eye, therefore, to your eyesight. You only get one pair of eyes, and you need to protect them.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that a $2 pair of sunglasses will solve the problem. They will help you see a little better in bright light, but they do not protect your eyes from the harmful effects of the sun.
You need to buy a good pair of high quality sunglasses. They will have a tag on them, or on the packaging, that indicates that that have UV protection. According to the American National Standards Institute, the best sunglasses to buy should block at least 99% of UVB rays, and 95% of UVA rays. They advise against buying sunglasses that do not have a tag listing the percentage of rays they block. If sunglasses don’t have such a label, those sunglasses are just for looks and will not protect your eyes.
If you wear prescription glasses, you can have a special UV protective coating added to them. If you wear contact lenses, you need to wear good sunglasses.
Do everything you can to protect your eyes form the harmful rays of the sun.
