Did you know only 3 in 10 children always wear sunglasses on sunny days?

New research shows that over half of parents aren’t fully protecting their children’s eyes from UV damage, with many mistakenly believing a hat offers the same protection as sunglasses.

Children’s eyes are more vulnerable to UV rays, and long-term exposure can lead to problems later in life. That’s why we’re raising awareness of the importance of proper UV eye protection.

To support the campaign, there many highlighting key tips for protecting young eyes:
✅ Look for sunglasses with a CE or UKCA mark
✅ Pair them with a wide-brimmed hat
✅ Book regular NHS eye tests from 3-4 years old

Did you know that UV stands for ultraviolet? ​We get exposed to these rays through sunlight and, as much as we all love a sunny day out, UV light can be harmful to our eyes.

In fact, wearing sun lenses with adequate UV protection is just as important as wearing sunscreen, for example. Yes, even when it's cloudy: your prescription sun lenses come in handy, as UV rays can easily pe*****te cloud cover.
