Dangerous ultraviolet light (UV) can cause damage to your eyes causing problems such as cataracts, degeneration of the retina and, in some cases even skin cancer around the eyes. To protect your eyes you should always wear quality sunglasses that offer good protection when you are driving, working outdoors, participating in outdoor sports, taking a walk, running errands or doing anything in the sun.
The benefits of wearing sunglasses include protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays, reduced damage from glare, protection from wind, dust and debris and the noticeable reduction of headaches and eyestrain.
