Your Pregnancy

Remember your sunnies!

-

With all the emphasis on sun protection for your skin, eye protection can be forgotten. Truth is, UV rays can really damage your eyes.

KNOW THIS

❯❯ The highest UV radiation exposure for eyes is in the morning and midafterno­on, when the sun is lower in the sky.

❯❯ Wide-brimmed hats give protection from direct rays, but don’t protect from the UV rays that reflect up from the pavement, sand or water.

❯❯ Ask your optometris­t about contacts that protect against UV rays, and get advice on choosing good-quality sunglasses, for you and your children. ❯❯ Make your frame choice about protection, not fashion. Wrap-around gives the best coverage. ●
