UV RADIATION

• It’s best to take precaution before letting your little one soak in the sun. Ultraviolet light from the sun can have serious effects on everyone’s skin and eyes no matter how old you are; but it’s important to know that your child’s eyes are even more susceptible to damage from UV radiation. In fact, 80% of all UV exposure occurs before the age of 18.
   

HARMFUL EFFECTS OF UV LIGHTS

• UV light has been associated with several eye issues including cataracts, macular degeneration, and cancer. Children are more at risk for retinal damage from UV rays because their pupils are larger and the lens inside the eye is clearer, which enables more absorption of UV radiation into the eye.
   

YOUNG EYES NEED MORE PROTECTION

• Children receive more annual sun exposure than adults because many of their activities are outdoor-based, including school recess, sports and playtime. This increased exposure to sunlight also increases children’s exposure to damaging ultraviolet (UV) light – an invisible, electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.

• Fortunately, the solution for protecting children’s eyes from UV exposure and damage is an easy one – outfit them with Pro Acme sunglasses that filter out both UVA and UVB light, and make sure they wear them.
