Wear Sunglasses
You might put on sun cream in summer to protect your skin from sunburns, but do you know that your eyes need to be shielded from ultraviolet (UV) exposure as well? UV light would damage your ocular tissues, cornea, conjunctiva, retina, and lens, causing eye problems such as cataracts, eye cancers, macular degeneration, photokeratitis, etc. Therefore, wearing sunglasses is an effective way to protect your eyes since they block 99%-100% UV light rays. Even on cloudy days when you cannot see the sun, it is suggested to wear protective eyewear in case ultraviolet radiation penetrated from clouds. [4]
