Children should wear sunglasses for several reasons:

  1. Protection from harmful UV rays: Just like adults, children’s eyes are also vulnerable to the harmful effects of UV rays from the sun. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can increase the risk of developing cataracts and other eye diseases later in life. Sunglasses with 100% UV protection can help protect children’s eyes from these harmful rays.
  2. Preventing glare: Sunglasses can reduce glare from bright sunlight, which can be uncomfortable and distracting for children, especially when engaging in outdoor activities like sports.
  3. Comfort and eye health: Wearing sunglasses can help reduce eye strain and fatigue from squinting in bright sunlight, leading to greater comfort and better eye health overall.
  4. Developing good habits: Encouraging children to wear sunglasses from a young age can help establish good habits of protecting their eyes from the sun and set them on a path of long-term eye health.
