Importance of year round sunglasses UV protection

A UV-Awareness Campaign from The Vision Council

Every day – whether it is sunny or cloudy, and despite the season – we are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. UV radiation can’t be seen or felt, and over time, it has a damaging effect on eyes. “UV Been Missing Something,” is a campaign developed by The Vision Council to encourage the regular use of ultraviolet protection for the eyes. The goal of the campaign is to educate about the harmful effects of unprotected UV exposure and that everyone is aware sunglasses or other eyewear that offers UV protection.
