But did you know that the eye’s transparent structures are made from similar keratin-based compounds, and therefore are just as susceptible to the damaging effects of unprotected solar exposure? Children are especially at risk, because of the time they spend around the water and in the snow. Quality sunglasses, such as those from Maui Jim, ensure that your eye’s cornea, lens and retina are well protected against the damaging rays of the sun. Remember, whether you are 6 or 60: “Everything that is happening to your skin is happening to your eyes.” 3844 Sunrise Hwy., Seaford516-781-9838 Eye Surgeons and Physicians, P.C.Eye Surgeons and Physicians, P.C. was created with patient comfort in mind, by combining specialized training with nearly a quarter century of treatment success.
