Sun’s rays to blame for Eye Damage
It’s commonly known that exposure to the sun can cause skin damage. However, it’s not only the skin that can suffer from the increased levels of ultraviolet radiation to which we are exposed during the summer months; our eyes can be at great risk too.
Prolonged exposure to UV rays can be to blame for various eye disorders, including cataracts and even cancer.
UV radiation levels are three times higher in June, July and August than during the winter. Worse still, between 10am and 3pm and at high altitudes such as ski resorts, the levels are amplified.
