Or that if you have blue eyes you should take extra care when it comes to UV rays? As you enjoy time outdoors on your next holiday, it\u2019s time to debunk these common myths about the sun protection.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18106\" src=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Think-UV_UK.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"3769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Think-UV_UK.png 800w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Think-UV_UK-768x3618.png 768w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Think-UV_UK-696x3279.png 696w, https:\/\/tripandtravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Think-UV_UK-89x420.png 89w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_1_UV_damage_to_the_eyes_that_happens_on_holiday_can_be_reversed\"><\/span>Myth #1: UV damage to the eyes that happens on holiday can be reversed.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reality: Sun damage to the eyes is cumulative, meaning the lasting damage can slowly build up. Over time, not protecting your eyes on holiday can really affect your vision and eventually lead to conditions such as cataracts.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_2_People_with_blue_eyes_have_the_same_UV_risk_as_everyone_else\"><\/span>Myth #2: People with blue eyes have the same UV risk as everyone else.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reality: People with blue eyes have less protective melanin pigment in their iris, making them more at risk to UV exposure and more susceptible to damage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_3_UV_exposure_is_highest_in_the_summer\"><\/span>Myth #3: UV exposure is highest in the summer.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reality: Regardless of the season, exposure to UV rays is the same year-round. Even if you\u2019re on a ski holiday in winter months, UV rays can reflect off white snow and be even more powerful than time spent on the beach.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_4_You_dont_need_to_worry_about_wearing_sunglasses_on_a_cloudy_day\"><\/span>Myth #4: You don\u2019t need to worry about wearing sunglasses on a cloudy day.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reality: UV rays can get through clouds and they only reduce the amount of UV by around 10 per cent. Overcast days can still leave you vulnerable to high levels of UV exposure so it\u2019s important to wear sunglasses even on cloudy days.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_5_Young_people_are_just_as_vulnerable_to_UV_as_everyone_else\"><\/span>Myth #5: Young people are just as vulnerable to UV as everyone else.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reality: Children under the age of five years are most vulnerable to sunlight. This is because as you get older, the lens becomes more yellow and naturally absorbs more UV to protect the retina. Because the effects of UV are cumulative, exposure at a young age can result in problems later in life.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_6_Darker_tinted_lenses_will_give_you_a_higher_level_of_UV_protection\"><\/span>Myth #6: Darker tinted lenses will give you a higher level of UV protection.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Reality: The tint of the lens will have no effect on UV protection but will change the amount of light that goes into your eye. Check for a CE mark on your sunglasses to make sure they offer a good level of protection.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_sun_smart_on_holiday\"><\/span>Be sun smart on holiday!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Take precaution and be aware of the impact that the sun can have on you when you\u2019re on your next adventure. Wearing sunscreen and sunglasses will help give you the extra protection from developing skin cancer or an eye condition.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was contributed by <\/em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.visiondirect.co.uk\/\"><em>Vision Direct<\/em><\/a><em>, the UK\u2019s leading online retailer for contact lenses.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"hentry\" style=\"visibility:hidden;\"><span class=\"entry-title\">6 Common Sun Myths Every Holidaymaker Should Know About<\/span> was last modified: <span class=\"updated\"> April 18th, 2018<\/span> by <span class=\"author vcard\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travel<\/a> Blogger<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
