We all LOVE playing in the summer sun. And yeah...We've all been warned about the dangers of spending too much time enjoying those HOT July days.
UVA, UVB----Who cares, right?
Well. We SHOULD care enough to put on a killer pair of sunglasses, right?
Too much exposure from the sun has been proven to cause skin cancer, wrinkles + sagging and also this:
CATARACTS.
According to the EPA website, it's from the UV radiation:
...."Cataracts are a form of eye damage in which a loss of transparency in the lens of the eye clouds vision. If left untreated, cataracts can lead to blindness. Research has shown that UV radiation increases the likelihood of certain cataracts. "
So what should we do?
Dermatologists suggest wearing sunglasses, of course, but your best bet is to invest in wrap around sunglasses.
Yuck...You might say?
Today, there are lots of wrap around sunglasses styles to choose from that aren't old-lady-looking.
These Ralph Lauren wrap arounds are tres chic + tres expensive.
But there are cheaper shades that accomplish the same thing, and that is to shield the entire eye from the UV rays as best as can be done.
Kohl's offers a bunch of pretty, wrap arounds. Even the Jennifer Lopez brand offers some:
These are the Jennifer Lopez Blondie Wrap Sunglasses on SALE now for $16.99.
