While wearing UV-protective clothing or sunscreen is routine for skin protection, eye protection is just as crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One immediate concern with prolonged UV exposure is photokeratitis, essentially a sunburn of the eye. It causes symptoms such as redness, tearing, sensitivity to light, and a gritty feeling. Although photokeratitis is typically temporary, frequent UV exposure can increase the risk of serious conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and even certain forms of eye cancer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cataracts, for instance, are a leading cause of blindness globally, and they develop faster with prolonged UV exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Eye Health Over Time: Prevention and Protection<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Regular, long-term UV exposure can also contribute to macular degeneration, which impairs central vision and diminishes the ability to see fine details.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Since eye cells do not regenerate quickly, damage from UV exposure is often cumulative, building over a lifetime. Wearing UV-blocking sunglasses is one of the simplest ways to protect your eyes, as they block\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">both<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0UVA and UVB rays. Additionally, wide-brimmed hats add another layer of protection by limiting the amount of UV light reaching your eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For patients of all
