July is UV Safety Month
It's summertime; the sun is bright and there is a great danger the sun can harm the eyes. Everyone is at risk for eye damage that can lead to vision loss from exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. So, use this month's tools from the American Academy of Opthalmology (AAO) to spread the message of sun, fun and safety to your community.
