Many individuals who live near the equator remember to put on sunblock but forget to care for their eyes in the same way. Long exposure to the sun can result in blurred vision, sensitivity to light, cataracts, and even in some cases blindness. Eye Care Bequia recommends following these whenexposed to UV rays:

• Wear sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection.
• Wearing hats can help shade your face.
• Avoid looking directly into the sun (the clouds do not block out UV rays)
• Keep your eyes hydrated.
