Sunglasses: UV Protection for Kids & Adults
Did you know eyes can get sunburned, just like skin? Without proper protection, eyes are overexposed to UV rays and damage can occur (a condition known as photokeratitis). Side effects include eye irritation, itching, pain, redness, blurry vision, headaches, and even swelling and tearing of the eyes.
You're especially susceptible to eye damage from UV rays while around water (lakes, rivers, ocean, etc.) and snow (sledding, skiing, etc.) since the sun reflects off those surfaces and back into your eyes.
Various sunglass styles and colors for adults and children are available for purchase at Dobbs Eye Clinic. Make sure you and your kids have UV protection when the sun does come back out!
