The Vision Council Releases UV Report

You may have noticed that we have really been harping the importance of UV protection with nearly everything we write.  There is a very good reason for that.  

According to a new report released by The Vision Council, nearly half of U.S. adults do not protect their eyes from UV radiation.  This report, The Big Picture: Eye Protection is Always in Season, highlights findings from two separate surveys about sunglass use and UV safety habits.

Sadly we are finding that these bad habits are being passed down to younger generations.  Over half of parents do not utilize sunglasses to protect their children’s eyes from UV exposure, opening the door for life-long damage.

We encourage all of our partners to download the full 16 page report at http://www.thevisioncouncil.org/consumers//media/PDFs/VCUVReport2013final.pdf

You will find the report to be interesting and informative.
