Protect your eyes from the sun

Summer has finally come and ... the desire to tan, to be outdoors and to take trips out of town.

We all know that the sun can be harmful to the skin without the right protection but we must remember to also protect our eyes to preserve their health.

The eyes in fact do not develop any protection against UV rays but rather become more sensitive to the glare of light. It is the conjunctiva and the cornea, being the most superficial parts, to be attacked more easily making annoying conjunctivitis appear.

Furthermore, the rays can also damage the lens and the retina causing premature aging and increasing the risk of cataracts in old age.

We must not think that only on sunny days, UV rays can be dangerous, but on cloudy days, 80% of the rays filter past the clouds, creating discomfort to the eyes.

It is especially people with light eyes who are most sensitive and children who suffer most having the crystalline lens not yet adequately developed.

Trips to the mountains, perhaps with snow, where the rays increase their power thanks to the height, or trips to the sea where the reverberation due to the reflection of the sun's rays in the bodies of water can create damage to the health of our eyes and are to be monitored more carefully.

In fact, reverberation can cause tearing, pain, swelling of the eyelids, feeling of sand in the eyes, blurred vision due to even severe inflammation.

For all these reasons it is really very important to use sunglasses equipped with UV filters and wide-brimmed hats in order to better protect our eyes. In case of more serious discomforts, the use of eye drops suggested by the pharmacist or doctor is also recommended.
