I hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine.

Please remember to protect your eyes from the harmful rays though.

I always have my Cocoon sunglasses on or handy to protect myself from damage and the suns glare.

I do still love my fantastic mirrored sunglasses, (I still have them) but cannot wear those anymore, as Cocoons help my photophobia so much. I don’t get eye pain half as much nowadays.

Even if your peepers are 20/20. Don’t take them for granted.

The light from the sun can cause all sorts of eye conditions and make the ones you already have exacerbate.

There’s more information here below. A post from 2019, but still relevant today.
