TL;DR: Mr Mfazo Hove, consultant ophthalmic surgeon and founder of Blue Fin Vision®, features in The iPaper and iNews article “20 Easy Summer Habits to Make You Feel Like a New Person”, sharing practical advice on protecting long-term eye health by wearing sunglasses, even on cloudy UK days.
Sunglasses Are Not Just for Holidays
In the article, Mr Hove explains why sunglasses deserve a more central place in our daily routines:
“People in the UK tend to think sunglasses are mainly for holidays abroad, or even just a fashion accessory, but you need to protect your eyes more than you think. Even on cloudy days, harmful ultraviolet rays can penetrate and reach your eyes, causing cumulative damage that may not become apparent until years later. Wearing sunglasses whenever you spend extended periods outdoors, whether you are driving, gardening, walking the dog or watching sport, is a simple habit that can help reduce this risk. Look for lenses that block 100 per cent of UVA and UVB rays. Protecting your eyes should become part of your everyday routine.”
A Simple Daily Habit
The takeaway is straightforward to adopt. Wear sunglasses during extended time outdoors, choose lenses that block 100 per cent of UVA and UVB rays, and treat eye protection as an everyday measure rather than an occasional one.
