(NewsUSA) - No matter what season it is, skin isn't the only thing that gets burned by sunlight. Eyes are just as sensitive, and children's eyes are especially vulnerable.
"The crystalline lens in children's and teenagers' eyes is more transparent than in adults, which makes them more susceptible to cornea and retina damage from the sun," says Corinne McCormack, spokesperson for The Vision Council and Fashion Director at FGX International, Inc. "Having your kids wear sunglasses while outdoors is actually as important as getting them to wear hats and sunscreen."
