A member asked:
Is it harmful me to be outside in the daylight without sunglasses?

If it happens often and prolonged, your eyes may develop pterygium, early cataract, etc. However, it won't have long term effect if the exposure is only occasional and brief.

A quality pair of sunglasses serves to help protect your eyes from intense sunlight exposure throughout the day....just as a good cap and an adequate amount of the proper SPF sunscreen.
