AOA recommends sunglasses

AOA recommends sunglasses to shield eyes from damaging UV rays.
According to researchers at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute both types of ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) can damage various parts of the eye. In addition, extreme UV exposure can cause growths on and around the eyes and increase the risk of cancer around the eye itself. The American Optometric Association recommends sunwear that absorbs at least 99 percent of UV rays.
