LI OPTICIANS

Most mothers know that they and their children must apply a good sunscreen for protection against UVB when outdoors for an extended period of time. But did you know that the eye’s transparent structures are made from similar keratin-based compounds, and therefore are just as susceptible to the damaging effects of unprotected solar exposure? Children are especially at risk, because of the time they spend around the water and in the snow. Quality sunglasses, such as those from Maui Jim, ensure that your eye’s cornea, lens and retina are well protected against the damaging rays of the sun. Remember, whether you are 6 or 60: “Everything that is happening to your skin is happening to your eyes.”
