Protect Your Childrens Eyes This Summer While They're Playing Their Favorite Sport

The Most Popular 2011 Summer Sports in America

Ever wondered what the most popular summer sports are in America? According to Wiki Answers there are the following;

Soccer

Beach Volleyball

Baseball

Basketball

Swimming

Most of them are played outdoors in the harsh summer sun. Whether we're outside just having fun or playing our favorite sport we still need to consider protecting ourselves from the harsh summer UV rays that can be damaging to our eyes, particularly for children.

 

Damaging UV Rays

Half of damaging sun exposure occurs in childhood because they are quite vulnerable to harmful UVA and UVB rays, medical experts believe that too much exposure in childhood is a major cause of skin cancer, premature skin aging later in life and eye damage. In essence, if children don't take precautions to avoid UV damage when in the sun playing their favorite sports, they can be doing harm that will follow on into their adult life. Babies are particularly sensitive to UV rays that can be very damaging to their skin and eyes and parents need to take extra precautions in ensuring their infants are not in direct summer sun for the first 6 – 12 months.

Protecting our Children when Playing Sport

Parents need to play a vital role in educating children and insisting they wear hats, put on sunscreen and wear sunglasses when playing in the bright summer sunshine.

There are now specialist sunglass manufacturers such as Real Kids Shades that make sunglasses designed for extreme sports and general sporting activities. Major brands such as Oakley and Arnette make children's sunglasses that are designed to fit snuggly onto children's heads so they can enjoy their sports outdoors while still protecting their sensitive eyes. Polarized lenses are usually common in sunglasses made specifically for outdoor activities as they provide optimal protection from harsh UV rays, particularly around water.

However once you've invested in a top quality pair of sunglasses for your children you'll want to ensure they maintain their optical clarity and vision. Active children can scratch lenses easily so it makes sense to invest in lens replacement that can be a fraction of the cost of buying new sunglasses each year, this can become costly. Consider replacement lenses that can be bought from online stores that specialize in sunglasses USA. Many specialist lens replacement companies offer a variety of colors to choose from and many carry polarized lenses that are best worn when playing sports around water or near the ocean.
