How uv rays affect our eyes

Seeing the Light: Understanding the Impact of UV Rays on Eye Health

Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays poses significant risks to our eyesight, impacting both short-term comfort and long-term health. While the eyes have natural defenses against UV radiation, prolonged or intense exposure can overwhelm these defenses, leading to a range of ocular issues, from temporary discomfort to permanent damage.

UV radiation is divided into three categories: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA rays, which penetrate deep into the eye, contribute to the aging of ocular tissues and are associated with the development of cataracts and macular degeneration. UVB rays are primarily absorbed by the cornea and lens, causing sunburn-like symptoms such as redness, irritation, and photokeratitis (a painful inflammation of the cornea). UVC rays are absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere and do not reach the surface.

One of the most immediate effects of UV exposure on the eyes is photokeratitis, commonly known as “snow blindness” when caused by sunlight reflecting off snow or ice. This condition can also occur after spending time on water or in high-altitude environments without adequate eye protection. Symptoms typically include pain, redness, tearing, and sensitivity to light, but fortunately, they are usually temporary and resolve within a few days.

Long-term exposure to UV radiation can have more serious consequences for eye health. Cataracts, a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, are a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide and are strongly associated with UV exposure. Prolonged UV exposure can also accelerate the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that affects the central part of the retina and can lead to permanent vision loss.

Furthermore, UV radiation can contribute to the development of various ocular surface disorders, including pterygium (a growth on the conjunctiva that can encroach onto the cornea) and pinguecula (yellowish growths on the conjunctiva). While these conditions are typically benign, they can cause discomfort, irritation, and blurred vision if they grow large enough to interfere with the visual axis.

Protecting our eyes from UV radiation is essential for maintaining good eye health throughout life. The most effective way to shield the eyes from UV rays is by wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Look for sunglasses labeled as “UV400” or “100% UV protection” to ensure adequate coverage. Additionally, wearing a wide-brimmed hat can provide added protection by shading the eyes from overhead sunlight.

It’s important to remember that UV radiation is present year-round, even on cloudy or overcast days when sunlight may not seem as intense. Snow, sand, water, and other reflective surfaces can also increase UV exposure, making eye protection crucial during outdoor activities such as skiing, boating, or hiking.

Children are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of UV radiation, as their developing eyes are more susceptible to damage. Encouraging children to wear sunglasses and hats when outdoors can help safeguard their vision for years to come.

PASSION FRUIT SEED OIL

Passion Fruit Seed Oil contains essential fatty acids such as Linoleic acid, which helps to keep skin hydrated and moisturized. It is a non-greasy oil that does not clog pores, making it excellent for oily and acne-prone skin, since it will nourish skin while still allowing it to breathe. It contains antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Lycopene, which can help resist UV damage and other environmental stresses. It can also accelerate the creation of collagen, an important skin component. It will increase skin elasticity, making it more supple and velvety. As a result, passion fruit oil is employed in formulating products for older skin types. This oil's antioxidant content makes hair thicker and longer.

What causes free radical formation and aging skin?

All aging comes down to free radical formation. And, almost all anti-aging is a fight against free-radical damage. So, what are free radicals, and how do they cause our skin to age in the first place? It's a bit of a long explanation, but shortly put, free radicals are unstable molecules that are missing an electron.

They cause cell damage. You can fight free radical damage by wearing sunscreen daily and living a healthy lifestyle.

Then, you can do some 'true' anti-aging with treatments like a Fraxel® DUAL laser session, or an Infini™ RF microneedling session, plus more.

Contact us to learn about our scientifically studied, anti-aging treatments using tools that can only be found in doctors' offices!

REMARKABLE POMEGRANATE SEED OIL SKIN BENEFITS ELLAGIC ACID Pomegranate seed oil contains a high concentration of ellagic acid. Ellagic acid is an antioxidant that has been shown to help prevent skin cancer as well as preventing UV damage and wrinkle formation. PUNICIC ACID An omega 5 fatty acid present in pomegranate seeds, punicic acid reduces skin inflammation and aids in skin repair. It also hydrates our skin and prevents moisture loss. This fatty acid protects the skin from sun damage and fends off free radicals. ANTIOXIDANTS High in antioxidants, this oil helps clean up free radicals that lead to wrinkles and skin thickening. FOR ALL SKIN TYPES Pomegranate oil stimulates “keratinocyte” proliferation, which promotes regeneration of the epidermis. This helps skin retain its youthful appearance by creating new skin cells. ANTI-INFLAMMATORY Flavanoids and Punicic acid make this oil a strong anti-inflammatory. It also has anti-microbial and wound healing properties. Pomegranate oil provides hydration and soothing relief to people suffering from eczema, sunburn and psoriasis. ENHANCES SKIN TEXTURE Improves elasticity while regenerating the skin by causing keratinocytes (old skin cells) to be sloughed off more quickly. It also reduces scarring. Pomegranate seed oil contains a human compatible form of pro-estrogen which enhances skin texture in both men and women by supporting hormonal balance. ANTI-AGING An excellent oil for topical anti-aging effects. It has high levels of antioxidants that challenge free radicals and keep your skin from aging too quickly. Pomegranate seed oil also promotes collagen and elastin production #pomegranate #pomegraniteseedoil #healthbenefits #TeamMyxology #juiceplus #omega #vegan #limitedstock #antiaging #enhanceskin #antiinflammatory #antioxidants #skin cancer #hormonalbalance #freeradicals #uvdamage
