Recent studies have shown that the earlier children start
wearing eye protection while outdoors the better their
chances of avoiding major eye health problems later in
life.
Damage to the eyes is cumulative, increasing from year to
year.
The sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be very harmful
to unprotected eyes and almost half of a person's total
lifetime UV radiation exposure occurs before age 18.
Young eyes let more UV rays inside and normally get more
exposure because they spend more time outdoors, usually
without eye protection.
Exposure to sunlight at an early age appears to be a
critical factor in the development of eye cancer.
The good news is that high quality children's sunglasses (kids
aged 11 and up) are easier to find than ever. Modeled
after adult versions, they feature high impact-resistant
lenses with sturdy, durable frames and lots of great
colors.
Look for polycarbonate since this is the most shatter-resistant.
Always make sure to buy sunglasses that block 99% to 100%
of both UVA and UVB.
