"Long-term exposure to UV radiation can lead to cataracts, skin cancer around the eyelids, and other eye disorders. In the short term, excessive exposure to UV radiation from daily activities, including reflections off of snow, pavement, and other surfaces, can burn the front surface of the eye, similar to a sunburn on the skin," the Environmental Protection Agency states.
Long Island Opticians offers a variety of designer sunglasses, from Oakleys and Revos to Maui Jims and Raybans. So while you're picking out sunglasses for you, pick out some for your children and grandchildren.
