• Sunglasses are more than just a fashion
  accessory. Just like sunscreen protects your skin
  from UV radiation and the harmful effects of
  undiluted sunlight, sunglasses do the same thing
  for your eyes. And just like sunscreen helps
  prevent skin cancer, sunglasses do as well
  nearly 10 of cases of skin cancer occur on the
  eyelids, meaning that sunglasses are a necessary
  tool for preventing the disease.1

• While 76 of adults wear sunglasses, only 1 in 6
  adults say they wear them for health reasons.
  Given the complications that can arise from not
  protecting your eyes, this can be a dangerous
  outlook that leads people to not wear sunglasses
  as often as they should. People with
  light-colored eyes are especially vulnerable to
  the harmful effects of the sun, and should be
  extra diligent at remembering to wear shades.2

• Along with causing skin cancer, UV rays can also
  damage the eyes themselves, sometimes leading to
  impaired vision caused by cataracts (clouds in
  the lens of the eyes). The World Health
  Organization (WHO) estimates that there are
  900,000 people in the world who are currently
  blind due to cataracts. Wearing sunglasses can
  minimize UV damage to the eyes and prevent
  cataracts from forming.1

5

• Cataracts arent the only symptom of too much UV
  exposure to the eyes. Overexposure to UV
  radiation can lead to the degeneration of the
  macula lutea, the millions of tiny cells in our
  eyes that allow us to see small details. When you
  habitually dont wear sunglasses, you are more
  likely to suffer vision loss due to macular
  degeneration later in life.1

• Next time you wait to replace an old pair of
  sunglasses because youre not ready to pay for
  them, remember this number the estimated annual
  cost for medical expenses related to vision loss
  and eye diseases is 139 billion.3 The cost of a
  pair of sunglasses is nothing compared to the
  cost of treating and managing the eye diseases
  that those sunglasses could have helped prevent.

7

• Sunglasses dont just help maintain health in the
  long term, either. Wearing polarized sunglasses
  while running, jogging, and performing other
  outdoor activities can help improve performance
  and reduce stress. When athletes squint for long
  periods due to glare in their eyes, it increases
  stress on their bodies from tense facial muscles,
  leading to decreased performance quality and
  stress-related doctors visits.4

8

• While skin wrinkles may not be as disastrous to
  overall health as other conditions caused by UV
  exposure, sunglasses can also help prevent them.
  For anyone who is concerned about their skin and
  tries to prevent crows feet, wearing a pair of
  sunglasses is an effective skincare tool that
  should be used every time you hit the beach, go
  for a run, or do any other outdoor activity that
  exposes your eyes to sunlight.

9

• Most parents wouldnt think of sending their kids
  out into the hot summer sun without making them
  put on sunscreen first, but according to recent
  studies, less than 60 of parents make their kids
  wear sunglasses.2 Skin and eye health care should
  begin at an early age, so remember to have the
  kids wear their own pair of sunglasses next time
  the family heads to the pool, goes camping, or
  spends a significant amount of time outdoors.
