UV Eye Protection Awareness Month

UV Eye Protection Awareness Month is observed to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our eyes from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Just like our skin, our eyes can be damaged by UV rays from the sun, leading to serious conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. This month encourages individuals to wear sunglasses that block 100% of UV rays, practice safe sun habits, and routinely check their eye health. By understanding the risks and taking preventive measures, we can help preserve our vision and maintain overall eye health.
