Reasons to Wear Shades
It is estimated that by 2030, the number of people with sight loss in Northern Ireland will have increased by 31 per cent.[1]
Nearly half of all cases of sight loss are preventable [2] and it’s important to protect those peepers by wearing your sunglasses this summer.
Research suggests that the harmful UVA and UVB rays contained in sunlight may be a factor in a number of eye diseases, in particular macular degeneration and cataracts, which add up to 42 per cent of sight loss conditions [3].
Find out more about protecting your eyes this summer by visiting: rnib.org.uk/eye-health, or phoning RNIB’s free helpline on: 0303 123 9999.
