Yes, your eyes can sunburn.

"Studies show that long-term exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of cataracts and growths on the eye, including cancer. UV rays reflected off sand and water can cause eyes to sunburn, potentially resulting in temporary blindness in just a few hours. In support of UV Safety Month this July, the American Academy of Ophthalmology reminds the public of the importance of shielding eyes from the sun's harmful rays with 100% UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hats."

Friday: Flashes & Floaters

Not all flashes and floaters are cause for concern - but some can signal an urgent eye condition.

If you experience a sudden onset of flashes or floaters, especially after eye trauma, it's important to have your eyes evaluated promptly.
Floaters that look like a "meteor shower," a swarm of flying gnats, or a sudden increase in spots can be a warning sign of a retinal tear, retinal detachment, or changes in the vitreous.

When it comes to your vision, don't wait. Early diagnosis and treatment can help protect your sight.
