Harmful UV rays that can damage your skin also can negatively impact your eyes’ tissue, cornea and lenses.
UV radiation accelerates eye aging, potentially leading to cataracts, corneal damage, and macular degeneration. Each of these conditions alone can lead to vision problems, especially over time.
UV damage is avoidable when you protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses.
SouthCoast Health experts share the benefits of wearing sunglasses here.
