When we think about sun protection, we usually reach for sunscreen—but your eyes need protection too.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, prolonged sun exposure doesn’t just increase your risk of sunburn or skin cancer—it can also seriously damage your eyes. UV rays reflected off sand, water, and even pavement can cause immediate harm and long-term effects, including:

• Cataracts

• Growths on the eye (pterygium)

• Eye cancer

• Photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye), which can cause temporary vision loss within hours

Shield Your Sight with Smart Summer Habits

Healthy vision is always in season—and in style. Here are three easy ways to protect your eyes this summer:

Wear 100% UV-blocking sunglasses. Look for shades that block both UVA and UVB rays. Bigger frames and wraparound styles offer even more coverage.

Add a wide-brimmed hat. Hats aren’t just fashionable—they provide extra defense against overhead UV rays and glare.

Use your drops wisely. Precision dosing with NanoDropper ensures your eyes get the medication they need without excess waste or irritation—especially important when your eyes are already dealing with sun, wind, and dryness.

Why NanoDropper Matters More in the Summer

Sun, heat, and dry air can make your eyes more sensitive, especially if you’re already managing conditions like glaucoma. By reducing drop volume and improving comfort, NanoDropper helps protect your eyes and makes every drop count—literally.

Whether you’re on the beach, hiking your favorite trail, or just enjoying the sunshine, don’t forget to care for your eyes with the same dedication you give your skin.

Stay safe. Stay stylish. Stay focused on your vision.
