We know that wearing sun cream is strictly necessary to protect children's delicate skin. However, it's equally important to warn about the harmful effect of not wearing sunglasses in childhood. The same UV radiation that sunscreen protects against also reaches the eyes and can damage children's eyes. Adequately protecting a child from the sun is essential, whether with hats, sun cream or sunglasses.<\/p>\n

7 reasons why children should wear sunglasses<\/strong><\/h5>\n
1- Children's eyes are particularly sensitive to UV radiation<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Children's eyes are more vulnerable to UV radiation than adults because their iris contains less pigment and their pupil is larger. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can be harmful to their eyes, especially in babies. Babies in their first year of life have a transparent lens, which allows 90% of UVA rays and 50% of UVB rays to penetrate the retina, hence the crucial importance of protection.<\/p>\n

2- Not being protected against UV radiation makes children more susceptible to developing future eye diseases<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Exposure to UV radiation can cause damage to the cornea, increasing the risk of eye diseases such as cataracts, ocular melanomas and corneal inflammation. The consequences of UV radiation on the eyes can take years to develop and are not immediately diagnosable. The World Health Organisation estimates that 10% of all cases of blindness from cataracts may be due to exposure to UV radiation.<\/p>\n

3 - The blink function in babies and young children is not yet fully developed<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Babies and young children don't blink as much as adults, making them more susceptible to UV radiation.<\/p>\n

4 - Not wearing sunglasses can cause headaches<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Not wearing sunglasses during outdoor activities in bright sunlight can cause headaches, as squinting can cause muscle tension around the eyes and forehead.<\/p>\n

5 – Sunglasses protect against glare<\/strong><\/h6>\n

While a parasol protects against direct UV radiation, sunglasses are essential to protect your eyes from glare, especially on the beach or near water.<\/p>\n

6- Creating good habits<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Since it's the little ones who get the cucumber, let's teach children the good habit of wearing sunglasses from an early age. When they go outside on a beautiful sunny day, it will be natural for them to think about putting on sun cream, but also about wearing sunglasses.<\/p>\n

7-\u00a0 Create a stylish look<\/strong><\/h6>\n

There's no need to explain this one, with a pair of cool sunglasses, you'll look stylish!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
