The Importance of Eye wear

UV rays can cause things as insignificant as eye irritation to more dangerous problems like cataracts and macular degeneration. Many of us think that by closing our eyes we are protecting our eyes from the UV rays when actually, our eyelids only protect about 25% of UV rays.
So, next time you go out for a relaxing nap in a tanning bed, make sure you use or bring your own eye protection. I'm sure you agree that a glowing tan is not worth the possibility of losing your eye sight.
