EFFECT OF SUN IN EYES AND PREVENTION

Simon Kelly, of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, warns that sun can burn the eyes too.

"Over-exposure to ultraviolet light, such as a day at the beach without proper eye protection, can cause a temporary but painful burn to the surface of the eye, similar to sunburn on the skin," he says.

He adds that reflected sunlight from snow and water, and artificial light from sunbeds, is particularly dangerous. Always avoid looking directly at the sun. "Staring directly at the sun can permanently scar the retina, the area at the back of the eye responsible for vision," he says.

Another risk to eyes is skin cancer, which can affect the eyelids and area around the eyes. Long-term exposure to the sun can increase this risk.

Sunglasses can also offer protection, but not all will be adequate. When you’re shopping for sunglasses, choose a pair that has one of the following:

  • the 'CE Mark' and British Standard (BS EN 1836:1997),
  • a UV 400 label, or
  • A statement that the sunglasses offer 100% UV protection.

Think about the sides of your eye as well; and consider sunglasses with wide or wraparound arms.
