7 Tips to Protect Your EyesWhile Enjoying Summer

7 Tips to Protect Your EyesWhile Enjoying Summer

1. 100% PROTECTION

Wear sunglasses that ensure 100% protection from harmful UV rays. Not having that kind of

sunglasses may actually worsen the damage UV

rays can do to your eyes. If possible make it big.

Go shop and get yourself big hats or visors. These too can help to prevent

4. HAVE A BREAK

Remember to rest even for a few minutes or hours. Summer

activities can really be exhausting. It is better to take

this break during the hours between 10 am to 3 pm. During these hours, the strength of the sun and the UV radiation is at its

peak.Image by: StockSnap.io (https://stocksnap.io/photo/2963AF05AE)

always come in handy.Image by: StockSnap.io (https://stocksnap.io/photo/7742AABEE9)
