Did you know your eyes are one of the essential organs in your body? Your eyes are responsible for letting you see an array of colors. Almost everything we perceive comes from our eyesight. One of the significant contributors to eye damage is the source of light from various external factors. As a vulnerable organ, the eyes should also be protected with such occurrences. You are already mindful that your eyes should are vulnerable while working outdoors on your yard or where debris is moving. However, there are other situations where protective eyewear should be considered.

Protecting Your Eyes From UV Light

The sun is undoubtedly an essential component for all life, but it can create harm to our eyes as well. Ultraviolet, or UV, radiation can create a few different eye-related issues.  UV rays, both A and B, can affect different parts of your eye like the macula. The macula is in the back portion of your eyes. Also, UV rays can create structural damage to the cornea and lens, which are located in the anterior region. Eventually, you could run the risks of developing more severe problems like macular degeneration, cataracts, and skin cancer around the eye. It's also possible to create a corneal sunburn from long hours out in the sun without protective eyewear. The best way to protect your eyes from the UV light is as follows:

• Wear sunglasses with UV protection or your standard glasses with UV rated lenses
• Avoid looking directly into the sun
