Each August, Prevent Blindness America focuses on children's eye health and safety. Adults and children can easily protect their eyes by wearing the proper sunglasses and a brimmed hat.
Children are more susceptible to UV damage than adults because they spend more time outside than adults. Here are some things parents can do to help protect children's eyes.
