UV Safety Month

While some exposure to sunlight can be enjoyable, too much is dangerous, causing immediate effects like blistering sunburns, as well as longer-term problems like eye damage.

Ultraviolet radiation is composed of high-energy rays from the sun. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation (sunburn rays) may contribute to the development of various eye disorders, such as: age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts, a major cause of visual impairment and blindness.

To protect your eyes, wear sunglasses and a broad-rimmed hat. When selecting sunglasses, make sure they block 99 to 100 percent of UV-A and UV-B rays. But dont be deceived by color or cost. The ability to block UV light is not dependent on the darkness of the lens or the price tag.
