Parents may leave their children at risk of developing cataracts in later life by exposing them to the sun's rays without giving them appropriate eye protection, according to new research by the Royal College of Optometrists.
The study found that 76 per cent of children do not wear sunglasses when out in the sun. Those with light-coloured eyes are most at risk from sun damage and those with blue eyes should always wear sunglasses, the experts advise.
UV rays from sunlight can damage the retina and the lens of the eye and can lead to long-term damage such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness.
Optometrist Dr Susan Blakeney says: 'The younger you can get children wearing sunglasses, the better. Wearing them should be part of the routine along with sun lotion, especially on the beach, where sand and water reflects UV rays up into the eyes. Make sure the glasses fit properly; not too tight or falling off, which defeats the point. A large wraparound style, with a sun hat, makes sure light doesn't come in the top.'
The College recommends glasses with a CE mark for quality and UV400 protection, which absorbs all wavelengths of UV.
