on Wednesday, June 6, 2012 Now that summer is here, you may be
wondering how to protect your eyes. From being out in the sun,
to swimming in pools or the ocean, there are plenty of instances
where you need to take extra care of your eyes. Here are some
easy tips that you can use to protect your eyes while enjoying
all that summer has to offer: - Protect your eyes from the sun:
Eye damage from the sun can affect surface tissues and internal
structures such as the cornea and the lens. Make sure that you
wear sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB rays. - Make
sure to wear eye protection when doing home improvements: It is
important to protect your eyes while doing things such as mowing
the lawn, sanding down planks, or any other home improvement
projects. Eye injuries that require surgery can happen even from
something as routine as yard work. - Wear protection when
playing sports: Eye care professionals recommend wearing
protective eye wear such as safety glasses and goggles, safety
shields, and eye guard
