Take care of those eyes!👀

Eye Injury Prevention Month may be wrapping up, but protecting your vision is a year-round habit, especially with summer UV exposure in full swing.

"Your eyes are irreplaceable, and a moment of prevention can preserve a lifetime of vision, says Silvia Orengo-Nania, MD, Chair of the UMN Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Neurosciences. "I encourage everyone to make eye safety a daily habit. When doing work indoors, wearing safety glasses can protect one of your most precious gifts, your sight."

Quick ways to protect your eyes this summer:
🛠️Wear safety goggles for hands-on tasks and projects 🧢 A wide-brim hat can block UV rays from reaching your eyes. 🕶️ The right sunglasses block UV before it reaches your eyes. 🕐 UV peaks 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., gear up during that window. ☁️ Cloudy skies still let up to 80% of UV through. 👁️ Regular eye exams catch UV damage early.

Protect your vision today.
