Summer is coming, and many parents will take their children on trips. Faced with the dazzling sunlight, mothers will have a question in their hearts: "Should children wear sunglasses or childrens eyeglasses?

Children's lenses are not easy to filter out ultraviolet rays, which can damage the retina. UV radiation can cause eye problems for people of all ages, but eye protection is crucial for children because their refractive system is more transparent.

The sunglasses near me act like a barrier to block and filter the damage of ultraviolet rays to the eyes. Wearing suitable high-quality sunglasses near me now is greatly beneficial for protecting the eyes.

Children should wear sunglasses that can block UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays, preferably sunglasses with curved surfaces that can cover the skin around the eyes, to block out ultraviolet rays from all angles as much as possible.

Normal visible light can effectively stimulate the eyes and is an important guarantee for children's visual development. However, high-energy ultraviolet radiation and excessive visible light can affect or damage the eyes. Due to the cumulative effect of ultraviolet radiation on the eyes, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays in children and adolescents is the main risk factor for pterygium, eyelid cracks, cataracts, or macular degeneration in adulthood.

Ultraviolet rays have a shorter wavelength and weaker penetrability, mainly affecting the anterior segment (cornea and lens) of adults, which can cause corneal aging and lens opacity (cataracts). Children's cornea and lens transparency is higher than that of adults, and more ultraviolet rays penetrate into the fundus, causing damage to the fundus. Therefore, children's UV protection is more urgent and important than adults!
