Yes, those powerful UV rays are out there everyday of the year! So, we need to protect our eyes AND, skin. Yes, drinking water is very important, too! Dehydration can be a problem with the elderly since we all loose the sense of thirst as part of the aging process.

Let’s keep the conversation going!

I experience a burning sensation in my eyes during summer especially when my eyes are too much exposed to sunlight. This could be a problem of dry eye, as I experience the same while using computer for a long time. Wearing sunglasses is a decent way to protect our eyes from sun. Drinking a lot of water can also help avoid dry eye Hope your mom is alright now!

Best to wear wrap around sunglasses, to give the periphery protection as well. Hats are always a great way to add to that shade, with at least a 3″ brim all the way around. Yes, true that light eyes are more sensitive but know that all of us with dark eyes need to protect our eyes just as much!
If the aging process doesn’t get us the UV Rays will!

CHEERS TO LOOKING COOL IN YOUR SHADES, AND GET THOSE POLARIZED!!

I recently experienced this temporary blindness after snowshowing for a couple of hours. There was even a thin overcast layer of clouds, the sun didnt seem bright at all…but when I walked into the house, I could barely see! I feel fortunate that this only lasted a few hours in my case.

Snow + ice = extreme light!

Hi, Lina, thanks for the info! Wear sunglasses when there is too much sun when you want to go outside. This is a simple protection for our eyes.

Live forever and prosper!
