But the question arises how does lay man come to know whether the glasses being bought are the right quality or not.The easiest way is to insist for a labeled product and good sun glasses label will mention about UV-A and UN-B protection. Also note that the frame must be wide enough to cover the eyes , eyelids and fragile tissue around the eyes. This prevents fragile tissue around the eyelids from developing melanoma.

Please take care of your eyes.This is one of the most precious gift nature has given us.

Foods with beta-carotene are like a one-two punch of health benefits! Once you ingest beta-carotene, your body changes it into vitamin A, which helps not only with good eye health, but also with a strong immune system and healthy skin. Mom always told us to eat our carrots and she was right! Nonprocessed "adult" carrots are a top source of beta-carotene but baby carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, and greens also contain a healthy dose. A few servings of these veggies a day will yield great results in your vision.
