Many people are used to wearing sunglasses in the summer, but in the spring, eyes should also be protected.

Not wearing glasses when the sun is out can lead to unpleasant consequences.

In spring, when the sun is bright outside and there is glare from the asphalt, ultraviolet radiation can cause problems. RIA Novosti reports details, citing ophthalmologist Natalia Mokhova.

It is noted that possible problems may include burns, retinal damage, tearing, and skin cancer.

Additionally, long-term UV exposure may increase the risk of developing cataracts.

The ophthalmologist added that people who look at the sun without protection risk deteriorating their vision.

According to Mokhova, given the potential problems, it is better to use sunglasses. This is especially important for those who spend a lot of time outdoors.

She noted that glasses should fit tightly to the face. Otherwise, they will not fully protect from the sun.
