Should You Buy Sunglasses for Your Child: Many People Make Mistakes
Children may ask their parents to buy all sorts of nonsense, especially during summer holidays.
Parents should understand that sometimes a child’s mouth really does speak the truth, especially when a child asks to buy sunglasses.
Surely many at this point will say that it is harmful for children, that their eyesight will deteriorate or something else. No way!
The staff of the American ophthalmological Mayo Clinic are in a hurry to upset such dads and moms.
The fact is that sunlight causes no less harm to children's eyes than to adults.
Moreover, the negative impact of ultraviolet radiation accumulates, which leads to serious vision problems in adulthood.
As consequences, ophthalmologists from the USA name cataracts, macular degeneration and other negative consequences. And that's not all.
Sunlight can cause corneal burns and damage the skin around the eyes.
Therefore, it is recommended to wear sunglasses even on cloudy days.
How to choose glasses
These should mainly be glasses with glass lenses. The degree of protection from UV radiation should be 99-100%.
Also, glasses should have large, round lenses to cover the skin around the eyes.
It is also important to select glasses taking into account the child’s vision characteristics.
