Did you know that babies and children should wear sunglasses all year round because their eyes are more vulnerable to UV radiation?

Sunglasses for babies and children

Although many believe that it is just a fashion accessory, it is recommended to wear sunglasses from a very early age.

The main reason is that the lens, a structure in the eye that helps focus and protect against UV rays, is still immature in childhood and lets more radiation through. In addition, babies and children have very delicate skin around their eyes, another important reason for them to wear sunglasses from an early age.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the use of models with at least 99% UV protection for babies, children and adults.
