Have you ever thought about your eye health? You only have one set of eyes and we’re strong believers in taking care of them. If you’re time poor or new to looking after your eyes, we’ve put together six simple ways you can start protecting them today.
Wear Sunglasses
Protect your eyes from the sun by opting for your favourite sunglasses. All sunglasses sold on Just Sunnies are in line with the Australian Standard and offer 100% UV protection. Even on cloudy days, high levels of UV exposure can lead to progressive damage to your eyes and cause eye conditions such as cataracts and pterygiums. Reduce the harmful effects of UV radiation on your eyes by wearing sunglasses every day.
Add Extra Protection with Polarised Lenses
Choose polarised sunglasses for added protection against harsh glare. Polarised lenses have an added layer within the lens that cuts out 99% of reflective glare from shiny surfaces such as light bouncing off roads, other vehicles, and even the water at your favourite beach.
Protect Your Eyes From Your Devices with Blue-Light Glasses
Daily use of devices over long periods of time not only causes eye strain but exposes our eyes to harmful blue rays. Protect your eyes from your phone and computer screens by adjusting your device’s brightness level and invest in blue-light glasses to assist with reducing eye strain and blocking out the harmful blue rays from your devices
Start Young
The harm caused by UV rays on your eyes is irreversible. Start introducing children into the habit of wearing sunglasses from an early age to prevent the onset of any eye conditions.
Give Your Eyes a Rest
Looking at your computer screen, mobile phone, or television over a long period of time can strain and tire your eyes. Try the 20-20-20 rule to give your eyes a break. Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds.
Use Eye Protection
Working on an industrial site, starting a DIY project at home, or playing an outdoor sport? Make sure you wear the appropriate eye safety for your activity to avoid dust particles, bacteria, or any airborne materials getting into your eyes. Just Sunnies selection of safety glasses are all marked in accordance with the Australian safety eyewear standards.
