Despite all this Sydney rain I am confident the sun will start shining and so it's important to think of UV and the damage it does to eyes.
UVA and particularly UVB cause irreversible damage to the delicate structures of the eye causing cataracts( irreversible) macular degeneration (irreversible), Pterygium ( irreversible) and photokeratitis- sunburnt eye ( reversible ). Why not protect the eyes to prevent these changes before they cause damage which will eventually affect your vision.
The best protection is wearing Transition ( photochromatic) lenses to block rays during everyday activities not just when at the beach, water or skiing. It's the accumulated doses of UV in everyday life that causes vision loss.
