Studies show that long-term exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of cataracts and growths around and on the eye, including cancer. UV rays reflected off sand and water can cause eyes to sunburn, potentially damaging the eyes in just a few hours. In support of UV Safety Month this July, we would like to remind you the importance of shielding eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. Protect your eyes with 100% UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hats.
