Be wise with your eyes!

It’s that time of year again! The time of year to be reminded of the importance of protecting yourself and your loved ones against harmful Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and other sources.

Did you know that UV radiation can be dangerous for your eyes? It’s true! Too much UV radiation can give your eyes a kind of "sunburn of the eye," called photokeratitis, which can cause eyelid twitches, eye pain, and extreme sensitivity to bright light. In severe cases of UV radiation overexposure can also do permanent damage to your central vision, and the more your eyes are exposed to UV rays over time, the greater your chances become of developing serious problems with your eyes later in life, such as age related macular degeneration, cataracts and even cancer.

The sun does not discriminate. Eyes of every age, gender and color need protection.
