When we’re young we’re not very concerned about our vision, or why we should protect our eyes from the harmful light – but exposure can cause long-term damage.
Frequent exposure to sunlight makes us more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration earlier in life. It’s a common condition among elderly with typical symptoms being loss of central vision, making it hard to recognize faces, drive and read. Pterygium or ‘surfer’s eye’ is a growth of pink, fleshy tissue on the white of the eye and is a common eye condition that affects people who spend a lot of time with unprotected eyes in extremely bright environments, such as on the beach, close to water. The eyelids and the sensitive skin around the eyes are particularly prone to develop skin cancer.
So, instead of taking our vision for granted we should give our eyes the best possible chance of lasting a lifetime. The best way is to protect them from both hazardous UV rays as well as blue light.
‘Snow blindness’ is a very painful state that can occur after just 15 minutes of overexposure to UV-light, and comes from the sun burning the cornea. It happens quite commonly to people who don’t wear sunglasses, or use sun-glasses with insufficient protection in situations with very bright light exposure, such as high altitude, or on snow. Frequent exposure to UV light increases the risk of developing eye diseases and accelerates the development of cataract.
