Protect your children’s’ eyes from harmful UV rays Go to any park, beach, ski resort, & you’ll see kids everywhere, but hardly any of them will be wearing proper sunwear, even though the reasons for wearing them are quite compelling. Parents often go to great lengths to protect their children’s’ skin from sun damage, but not often enough do they provide their kids with a pair of “quality” sunwear. Sunglasses are not “toys”, as they serve a function infinitely more important-protecting our eyes from problems which may last a lifetime. The sun’s effects on the eyes are cumulative over time, and damaging UV rays can contribute to the development of a wide variety of ocular disorders. Remember that kids must wear polycarbonate lenses that block at least 99% UVA&UVB.
