Protection from the sun is as important for the eyes as it is for the skin - UV and blue light
are both dangerous and can cause irreparable damage.
Blue violet light can seriously damage the eyes and can be attributed to retinal diseases
including AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration)*. The eye has its own defence mechanism
against blue violet light but unfortunately it decreases as we get older: At 40 years old, we have
already lost 20% of our initial retinal melanin and at 65 years-old, it is around 50%.
