 Here's another Thrive Tip from Kaiser Permanente and Fox 12. We hear a lot about skin cancer and sunscreen this time of year, but it's also extremely important to protect your eyes from sun damage. That means it's time to get out your sunglasses. UV rays can contribute to eye health and vision problems, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancers of the eyelid. All of us are susceptible to sun damage to the eyes, but we're at greater risk as we age if you have fair skin, if you have light eyes, and if you spend a lot of time in the sun. There are simple things you could do to protect your eyes from sun damage year-round. Wear high-quality sunglasses that protect your eyes from UVA and UVV rays. You could wear a hat with a wide brim to shade your eyes from the sun. And when you are outside, seek shade, especially during the hours between 10am and 4pm. Remember, sunglasses aren't just for sunny days. UV rays can be just as strong on overcast and cloudy days. This has been another Thrive Tip, sponsored by Kaiser Permanente and Fox 12.
