While the increase in temperatures and the full exposure of the sun cause heart, lung and blood pressure-related diseases to increase; People need to pay more attention to their health during the summer and take various precautions to protect their health. Stating that sunlight can directly damage the eyes as well as the skin, Dünyagöz Bursa doctors Op. Dr. Tamer Haytoğlu stated that harmful sunlight plays a major role in the formation of cataracts. Stating that the incidence of cataracts at an early age is higher, especially in workers in agricultural regions and in African countries, Op. Dr. Tamer Haytoğlu warned the public to choose sunglasses with polarized filters that block ultraviolet rays when choosing sunglasses.
With the arrival of the summer months and the sun showing its face, those who spend time in open areas face the dangers that sun rays may cause. Stating that ultraviolet rays are very dangerous for eye health, Dünyagöz Bursa doctors Op. Dr. Tamer Haytoğlu “Sunglasses that do not protect against harmful sun rays do not protect the eyes as is thought. Pupils, which reflexively enlarge in order to receive more light in dark environments, grow with the darkness created by sunglasses. Thus, enlarged pupils let in more light. "When we use sunglasses that do not protect against ultraviolet rays, harmful rays reach the eye more easily through the growing pupils and damage the natural lens there." he said.
Sunglasses without an ultraviolet filter should not be used!
Op. stated that cataract disease occurs when the natural lens in the eye loses its transparency. Dr. Tamer Haytoğlu “The use of sunglasses that do not protect against the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun can damage the eye lens and accelerate cataract formation. In addition, it may cause macular degeneration, a disease that occurs in older ages and is popularly known as macular degeneration.
Don't sacrifice your eye health for fashion!
It's only for fashion purposes, especially in the summer months. � and Op stated that glasses without attention to glass quality are sold at hawker stalls. Dr. Tamer Haytoğlu “ Sunglasses are not an ordinary jewelry, they are a very important accessory for eye health. It should not be forgotten that the progression of cataracts cannot be stopped and the only treatment is surgery. Therefore, we recommend that people be very careful when choosing sunglasses and do not use sunglasses that will pose a threat to eye health,” he said.
Sunglasses with polarized filters that block ultraviolet rays should be preferred! Stating that the use of glasses is a must, Op. Dr. Tamer Haytoğlu said, “In summer, especially since there is more sunlight reflected from white surfaces and shiny surfaces, it damages our eyes more, and this need for protection is even more important during the hours when the sun hits our eyes perpendicularly. "Sunglasses with polarizing filters that block ultraviolet rays should be used during these hours." said.
