☀️ It's cooler. It's autumn. So you've packed away the sunglasses - right?
Here's the problem: UV radiation doesn't follow the seasons.
In South Africa, UV levels remain dangerously high year-round; and autumn light, sitting lower in the sky, can actually hit your eyes at a more direct angle than summer sun overhead.
Long-term UV exposure without protection is directly linked to:
👁️ Cataracts: clouding of the eye's lens
👁️ Macular degeneration: irreversible central vision loss
👁️ Pterygium: a growth on the white of the eye
👁️ Photokeratitis: essentially a sunburn on your cornea
The fix is simple: quality sunglasses with UV400 protection worn consistently; not just at the beach in December.
And the first step is knowing what your eyes actually need. That starts with a comprehensive eye test.
