The Impact of UV Light on Eye Health
Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun can have harmful effects on the eyes, increasing the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and eye cancers. Wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UV rays and a wide-brimmed hat can provide necessary protection. Additionally, UV-protective contact lenses are available for those who wear contacts. Being mindful of UV exposure and taking steps to protect your eyes can help maintain long-term eye health, particularly during outdoor activities.
