Each August Prevent Blindness America turns its focus to children's eye health and safety. Adults and children alike can easily protect their eyes by wearing the proper sunglasses and a brimmed hat.
Children are more susceptible to UV damage than adults because they tend to spend more time outside than adults. Here are some things parents can do to help protect children's eyes.
Only purchase sunglasses that offer UV protection.

Always insist that children wear a brimmed hat in conjunction with their sunglasses.
