National Sunglasses Day on June 27 highlights the importance of wearing sunglasses year-round to protect long-term eye health.
The day highlights the role of not only as a mere fashion accessory but also as a vital health tool for shielding eyes from sun damage.
Established in 2009 by Vision Council, the day raises awareness about eye protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Sunglasses protect your eyes and the skin around them from UV damage, helping prevent premature ageing, crow`s feet and sunspots, much like sunscreen does.
As India has a high UV index, NationalSunglasses Day reminds us that sunglasses are essential for eye protection, not just a fashion accessory.
