I think it's safe to say that it's summer time, right? And, normally, at this time of the year, everybody likes to enjoy more time outside. I think that by now, everybody is aware of the sunscreen lotion, and the importance of it on your kids little skin. While you are protecting their skin, have you though about their poor little eyes?
It would appear that baby's eyes have less protective pigment than an adult's, so they absorb a lot more harmful ultraviolet radiation. And it doesn't have to be from the sun directly, but also from the reflection of it; on the sand, water and even asphalt. So, just like us, their eyes need to have UV protection sunglasses. And let me tell you that there is a lot of options out there for any kind of price range. Here's a few:
- Wraparounds without hinges from Julbo for $30
- My First Shades offer 100-percent UVA and UVB protection. They come with various designs for $15.
- Kushies' has some scratch-resistant lenses with 100-percent UV protection for $5.
Enjoy your summer, protected! 8-)
