Safety for your Eyes
IT’S ISN’T JUST THE HEAT, AND HUMIDITY, THAT CAN BE A DANGER IN HOT SUMMER WEATHER.
OF COURSE, YOU’VE HEARD THE SUNSCREEN RECOMMENDATIONS.
BUT DON’T FORGET SUN ‘GLASSES.”
IT’S IMPORTANT TO KEEP YOUR EYES SAFE FROM THE SUN.
SUNGLASSES MAY BE NICE FOR KEEPING THE LIGHT OUT OF OUR EYES OR LOOK LIKE A COOL ACCESSORY.
BUT THAT ACCESSORY IS ALSO PROTECTING YOUR EYES FROM HARMFUL U–V RAYS.
WHILE THE RIGHT PAIR OF SHADES CAN HELP KEEP YOUR EYES SAFE FROM THE HARMFUL RAYS OF THE SUN— THEY CAN ALSO WORK TO PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM FOREIGN OBJECTS
IF YOU LIKE TO PLAY IN OR AROUND THE WATER, DOCTOR MORRIS SAYS, YOU NEED TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL.
WATER CAN REFLECT UP TO 4 TIMES AS MUCH U–V LIGHT INTO A THE EYES
IF YOU WEAR GLASSES, THE SUGGESTION IS TO USE A CLIP–ON SUNGLASSES, OR TRANSITION–TYPE LENSES DARKEN WHEN SUNLIGHT HITS THEM.
