Any person who spends time outdoors knows of sunscreen can prevent painful burns and deadly skin cancer.
Those who are exposed to dangerous UV rays are also risking eye damage. High levels of UV radiation exposure to the eyes can also cause vision loss, cataracts, skin cancer of the eyelids, and macular degeneration.
Eye damage resulting from the sun can be thwarted by wearing a wide-brimmed hat, or sun glasses. When purchasing protective eye wear one should make sure the packaging is clearly labeled 99 to 100 % absorption of both UVB and UVA rays.
People aren’t the only ones to suffer eye damage from the sun. Dogs can also experience eye-related problems from exposure. Fortunately modern technology has made dog sunglasses possible. Protecting your pup’s peepers will benefit you as well as your dog. Expensive veterinarian bills resulting from macular disease can be avoided by investing in dog sunglasses.
