This UV Safety Month, let's focus on our little ones! Children are actually more susceptible to the harmful effects of UV rays than adults because they typically spend more time outdoors, and their ocular lenses are more transparent, allowing more UV light to reach the retina.
Equip your children with UV-protective eyewear whenever they're outdoors. Hats and caps are also great additions to shield their eyes from direct sunlight.
Schedule an appointment with us for more tips on making UV protection a fun part of your child’s routine.
