In fact, every day millions of people step outside without their sunglasses. Meanwhile, it is essential that you have protective eyewear to protect yourself from the harsh UVA/UVB rays.

When you buy a pair of glasses, make sure they have 100% UVA protection or a UV 400. At the same time, your eyes are delicate; so you want to keep them protected. However, if you don’t protect your eyes; you are likely to have issues with cataracts. Hint, hint – my husband thinks I’m crazy for always asking him, “Where are your Sunglasses”? Consequently, he recently had cataract surgery.

Similarly to going out in the sun without applying sunscreen and wearing protective clothing; going out in the hot burning sun without any eye protection is extremely dangerous. For some safe sun tips; be sure to check out my Celebrate National Sun Safety Week post for tips that are essential to protecting you from these dangerous rays.

Even if you have 20/20 vision, it is essential to protect your eyes whenever you are in the sun. For example, you could end up with eye issues such as red or swollen eyes and later in life; you could have macular degeneration.
