Too much ultraviolet, or UV, radiation from sunlight can cause eye damage. Age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, which are leading causes of vision loss, can develop from UV exposure. This month, the American Academy of Ophthalmology sponsors an awareness campaign to encourage the public to protect their eyes by wearing wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses that block UV rays.
July is UV Safety Month, a time when the sun is especially bright, and many individuals are enjoying summer outdoor activities. The level of UV radiation is three times greater in the summer months. The American Academy of Ophthalmology wants you to have fun while protecting your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays!
