Did you ever think that the sun could be cancerous? Not just for
your skin, but for your eyes as well. There have been several
scientific studies that are concluding that if you are out in
the sun for too long without sunglasses, you may be at risk of
developing cancer. Without sunglasses, the sun beating in your
eyes will serve you at risk for getting cataracts in your eyes,
different growths on the eye, and what they refer to as “macular
degeneration.”
After performing these studies, ophthalmologists encourage
recommend that you wear 95% or more Ultra Violet absorbent
eyewear when you are out having your fun in the sun. Usually the
sun sends off Ultra Violet Radiation in the summer three times
stronger than it does in the winter! Always make sure that you
wear sunglasses even if you are having fun in the pool (or any
other body of water).
Though summertime calls for the most attention when it comes to
wearing sunglasses, if you are playing sports outside in sunny
weather even during the wintertime, it is still recommended to
wear your sunglasses.
Did you know that every single pair of sunglasses sold must be
approved by the FDA? It’s true! If you are going from a regular
day to day sunny schedule, the medium shaded lens is perfect.
You may want to make it on your list to purchase some darker
shaded sunglasses though, just incase it is extra bright and
sunny.
Sunglasses are in style, so you shouldn’t have a problem or feel
embarrassed to wear them. Do yourself a favor and go get
yourself a cool pair! You are decreasing your risk of developing
cancer by doing so! Not only will you look and feel great, but
your eyes will thank you in the end!
