Wearing The Wrong Sunglasses To Look Cool is Too Damaging To The Eyes
Sharp sunlight can make the eyes uncomfortable, affect the clarity of vision, and people may squint and cry. Wearing sunglasses will greatly increase comfort. In addition, sunglasses can also enhance dark adaptation. If people do not wear sunglasses and spend 2-3 hours in bright sunlight, their adaptability to darker environments (such as tunnels) will decrease, leading to safety hazards.
What diseases can be easily induced by improper wearing of sunglasses:
1.Can cause visual fatigue
Poor quality sunglasses with an uneven surface and color tone can easily induce visual fatigue. Some people, regardless of time and occasion, wear sunglasses even when watching movies or TV, regardless of the strength of the light. This increases the burden on the eyes, causing symptoms such as eye muscle dizziness and inability to see for long periods of time.
2.Can cause sunglasses syndrome
Sunglasses syndrome is more common among trendy young people who prefer to wear large frame sunglasses with wide edges, thick frames, and heavy weights. After wearing it continuously for 1-2 weeks, there may be symptoms such as numbness in the eye sockets or between the cheeks, slow sensation, and discomfort in the nose when breathing, as if you have caught a cold. Some people feel like small insects crawling on their faces, their upper gums are numb, their front teeth feel uncomfortable, and their eyes are sore and swollen. This is because thick, wide edged, and heavy sunglasses often compress the infraorbital branch of the trigeminal nerve, leading to the above symptoms.
3.Can cause retinal diseases
If you wear sunglasses without UV protection, it is more dangerous than not wearing sunglasses. Because the human body has an instinctive response to self-protection, when the eyes encounter strong light, the pupils will naturally shrink, reducing the amount of ultraviolet energy entering the eyes. Once wearing substandard and darker colored sunglasses, the pupils will enlarge. In addition, the glasses do not have the function of isolating ultraviolet rays. At this time, the eyes are like a wide open door, and the invading ultraviolet energy will greatly increase, causing damage to the lens and retina, which can be imagined.
4.Can induce acute attacks of glaucoma
If you wear sunglasses without UV protection, it is more dangerous than not wearing sunglasses. Because the human body has an instinctive response to self-protection, when the eyes encounter strong light, the pupils will naturally shrink, reducing the amount of ultraviolet energy entering the eyes. Once wearing substandard and darker colored sunglasses, the pupils will enlarge. In addition, the glasses do not have the function of isolating ultraviolet rays. At this time, the eyes are like a wide open door, and the invading ultraviolet energy will greatly increase, causing damage to the lens and retina, which can be imagined.
5.Can induce acute attacks of glaucoma
Because sunglasses reduce the intensity of light, they can cause the pupils to enlarge. If the lenses cannot prevent ultraviolet rays, more ultraviolet rays will enter the eyes, causing greater damage to the eyes. Regular brand sunglasses generally have this function, but it is difficult to say which ones are of inferior quality. Therefore, it is important not to buy non-standard sunglasses at a low price.
