This trend could be a one-way ticket to solar retinopathy ๐๏ธ๐ซ
Sunning (standing in sunlight with closed or open eyes) is claimed to boost energy, improve eye health, or even "charge" your body.
While the sun helps make vitamin D and supports circadian rhythm, looking directly at it can permanently damage the macula, causing painless, irreversible vision loss (solar retinopathy).
Standing in bright light is one thing, but staring at the sun is never safe.
Protect your eyes with UVโrated sunglasses from Tucson Optometry Clinic instead! ๐
