PROTECT YOUR EYES FROM UV-RELATED DAMAGE

  • Protect your eyes whenever you're outside for a prolonged period -- even when it's gray and overcast.
  • Wear sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of UV-A and UV-B rays.
  • Wear goggles or sunglasses that wrap around your temples for better protection if you spend time in the water.
  • Protect your eyes when UV light is most intense, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Wear a brimmed hat.
  • Don't forget the kids! Protect their eyes with hats and sunglasses too.
