New Report by The Vision Council Examines Gaps in UV Safety

ALEXANDRIA—Despite the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation (UV) to eyes and vision, 40 percent of U.S. adults do not wear sunglasses while outdoors, and nearly half of drivers do not protect their eyes on the road, according to a new report from The Vision Council titled The Big Picture: Eye Protection Is Always in Season.   The report details how unprotected exposure to the sun increases risk for serious vision problems like cataracts, abnormal eye growths, cancer of the eye and surrounding skin and macular degeneration.
