Should a baby wear sunglasses?

It is essential to protect babies’ and children’s eyes from harmful sun exposure on hot sunny days since their defensive capability is low: a child’s pupil is wide, the lens is crystal clear, and they often look upwards more than adults. Children have a higher risk of developing eye damage from excessive sun exposure.

Do regular dark lenses also protect babies’ eyes?

It is not the dark lens that protects eyes from sun exposure but the UV protection itself. Wearing glasses with just dark tinted lenses, without UV protection, is extremely dangerous for the eyes, because the eyes’ natural defense mechanisms: squinting and narrowing of the pupils, do not activate with dark lenses. Therefore, more UV radiation enters the eyes than it would without sunglasses.
