Here are some potential risks of ultraviolet radiation
In an interview with Ht Lifestyle, D -R Kamal Songo, Corovica, Cataracts and Mention of the Surgeon, Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central, said: “Most people who are religiously bloom on sunscreen to protect the skin from the sun, but do not understand that our eyes also require the same type of protection. The amount of pain can lead to serious eye cases.
Dr. Visra Sangit, Chief Ophthalmologist and Senior Surgeon on Corneal Transplant, Jupiter Tana Hospital, also told HT Lifestyle: “Prolonged exposure to UV and UV radiation can contribute to the aging of the eyes and promote the development of natural disorders of different eyes.”
He added that ultraviolet rays can also harm the retina, which will lead to the degeneration of the waste, the constant condition that violates the central vision and can significantly affect everyday activity such as reading or driving.
D -s Songo also said: “Photoratitis, in short, sunburn, is one of such diseases caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation, leading to redness, pain, blurred vision and temporary loss. It is uncomfortable, hinting, and more can be avoided.”
How to protect your eyes from sun damage?
D -R -Sangit said: “In my practice, those who work or spend a lot of time outdoors, such as construction workers, farmers, athletes and women, usually experience early symptoms of these conditions. Too many of them do not know that their difficulties could be avoided with a mild merit.”
It shared that not all sun glasses provide sufficient protection, so it is important to choose the ones that block 100 percent UV, as well as the UVB rays. Dr. Sangit explained why: “The prolonged exposure to sunlight will lead to dry eye, as heat and ultraviolet rays interfere with the production of tears, causing irritation and discomfort. Wearing regular ultraviolet glasses will allow it to protect the eyes from drying.”
He added that worn ultraviolet sunglasses form a shield, which for many years reduces the cumulative effect of the eyes. Not only do they work on maintaining constant eye health, they also give constant comfort, holding the glare, as well as improving visual distinctiveness.
Dr. Sangit said: “Ultimately, a minor everyday habit of using ultraviolet goggles gives impressive benefits in the long run. Having placed the eye protection where we would place sunscreen for our skin, we can avoid unnecessary vision problems and have healthy vision well.”
Dr. Songo agreed that a small awareness is long in defense of long -term eye health. According to him: no matter what you go, work in the garden, rest on the beach or just on a walk, it is important to wear sunny glasses that provide 100 percent protection of UV and UVB.
He said: “Wearing them with a broad-pointed hat is an additional barrier. Our eyes are as sensitive to ultraviolet damage, like our skin, and small precautions, such as wearing proper eye transmission, can prevent vision problems.”
