What beautiful blue eyes you have. Why you need to cover them up.

Attention all blue-eyed people: You NEED to wear sunglasses. 

People with blue eyes have a higher risk of developing melanoma of the eye than those with brown or darker eyes. Light green eyes are at risk too. Ocular melanoma is most common in adults and it’s really dangerous. If you’ve got blue or light eyes, you need to wear quality sunglasses year round. Look for UVA, UVB and HEV blocking lenses that are large enough to cover the eye and surrounding areas. Consider wearing a hat for added protection, especially if you’ve got fair skin.
