Buy Sunglasses for Summer Season
Philippines are now experiencing very hot weather so it is important to protect our skin from sun exposure as well as our eyes. It is recommended to wear protective UV blocking sunglasses because it can protect the delicate skin of the eye area from damage due to UV rays.
Due to excessive sun exposure, eyes can expose to sun and can develop serious and permanent eye damage. It is important to protect our eyes from eye related disease such as cataracts, photokeratitis and much other eye disorder. The risk of getting eye related disease due to long exposure to sun is from about 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon Some people such as fishermen, farmer and beach goers who spend long hours under the sun without adequate eye protection can develop photokeratitis which result in temporary loss of vision.
When you are planning to buy sunglasses, always make sure to look for a label states that the sunglasses offer 99% or 100% UV protection. Don’t ever think that glasses with a darker tint or with pricier sunglasses can get more UV protection. Also, you can ask Opthomalogists to test your sunglasses about the level of UV protection. In addition, your sunglasses must be dark adequate to cut down glare but not dark enough to distort color that affects the recognition of traffic signals. It is recommended to wear lenses that are amber, brown or green and neutral gray.
Last week, I bought sunglasses for my daughter since we are planning to go swimming. Remember your children should also wear real sunglasses just like adults not toy sunglasses.
