Only 2 out of 5 parents think about protecting their kids' eyes from the sun.
warns that UV damages to kids’ eyes can lead to cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and pterygium when they’re older. And in the short term, they could suffer photokeratitis which harms vision and feel like having a sun-burned eye.
While you probably see more adults wearing sunglasses than kids, kids actually have a bigger need for them when it comes to protecting their eyes. “Children have larger pupil sizes which means there is a bigger window for UV to enter their eye,” explains Adamopoulos. “Since their internal lens is still developing, they can’t filter out UV as well as an adult eye.”
And it’s important to know that the cells in your lens are never replaced or replenished — they accumulate damage over the course of your life. You only get two. So teach your kid to treat them kindly.When picking kids’ sunglasses, look for polarized glasses that provide UV protection above all else . After that, remember that no-scratch, impact-resistant frames will fit with your kids’ rough-and-tumble lifestyle.
