Sunglasses are no longer a fashion fad. They are essential in preventing eye damage caused by the suns ultra violet radiation. While most of us are aware of sunburn, that leads to skin cancer, medical evidence shows that our eyes also can suffer from 'sunburn which can lead to cataracts - a leading cause of blindness.

Children and young adults are especially at risk and parents should make sure their children wear sunglasses - particularly when levels of UV radiation are high, such as on the beach, in water and in snow, where there is additional danger due to reflection.

What is UV radiation?

UV radiation is a component of solar energy, as is visible light and infra red radiation (heat). Other sources of UV radiation include welding arcs, high intensity mercury vapour lights and even tanning lamps.

UV radiation consists of three main types: UVA, UVB which causes sunburn and is largely responsible for causing skin cancer. Most solar UV radiation striking the Earth is absorbed by the ozone layer but it has been calculated that a one per cent decrease in the amount of atmospheric ozone will increase UVB levels by about two per cent.

According to predictions of the Australia National Health and Medical Research Council, more than 36,000 additional cases of eye problems a year will occur as a result of ozone depletion. A one per cent rise in UV radiation levels would increase the annual incidence of pterygia eye disease in Australia by 26,000 cases.
