Unfortunately, it can also be quite dangerous &#8212; and not just because of the riptide. The sun&#8217;s ultraviolet (UV) rays can not only damage your skin but can cause some serious problems to your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>There are three types of UV light: UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer, but UV-A and UV-B radiation are very harmful to the eyes. These rays can cause cataracts, macular degeneration, and other serious health concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some great tips for protecting your eyes from the sun and its dangerous UV rays:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rock Oakley replacement lenses with polarized protection<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212; Polaroid sunglasses have been offering protection from the sun&#8217;s UV rays since 1936. Before then, tinted sunglasses were used but only reduced the glare of sunlight exposure to the eye. With polarized and photochromic lenses, you&#8217;ll be able to walk around outdoors on those hot, bright summer days &#8212; free from dangerous UV exposure to your eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be extra cautious during strongest hours<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212; The sun&#8217;s rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. so it&#8217;s important to either wear proper sunglasses with polarized lenses or remain indoors during this timeframe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t forget your hat<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212; Though polarized Oakley replacement lenses are recommended and needed to combat the sun&#8217;s UV rays, they can&#8217;t offer 100% protection.
