Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays

While UV rays are well known for their damage to the skin, they also have a significant negative impact on the eyes.

Ultraviolet rays reach the lens and retina, so if damage from strong ultraviolet rays accumulates, it is said to accelerate aging and cause photoinduced keratitis.

According to the WHO, approximately 20% of cataracts are caused by ultraviolet rays, so the harmful effects are frightening. Cataracts are an eye disease that can lead to blindness in some cases, so we need to be especially careful about ultraviolet rays, which become stronger in the spring and summer.

It is a good idea to wear sunglasses, especially in the summer when UV rays are strong and the sun is dazzling.

Sunglasses are said to protect your eyes from UV rays, but not all sunglasses have UV protection.
There are many different types of sunglasses, so choosing the right ones is important.

The first point is the UV protection display .
Only products that meet the standards set by the Household Products Quality Labeling Act are eligible for this label, so you can choose them separately from other fashion glasses.

Another important point is the color and shape .
Although darker colors are preferable, if they are too dark, the pupils tend to dilate and absorb more UV rays.
We also recommend sunglasses with large lenses that are close to your face and cover your eyes .
