WHY WEAR SUNGLASSES?
Ultraviolet (UV) light can penetrate the eye, by travelling through the hole at the front, known as the pupil (It's not as scary as it sounds!)
The UV light can be harmful to the eye, especially for prolonged periods, or as an accumulation over years of exposure
UV light has been linked to certain eye conditions, such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
It is important to note that we are exposed to natural UV light when outdoors, even on cloudy days, and also artificial UV light when using sunbeds
Sunglasses are a fashion accessory and with a wide range of shapes, colours and materials available, every face has a pair
If you shop for sunglasses at your local optician you can get your prescription glazed into the lenses
