Some doctors think kids as young as 9 months should wear sunglasses

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON

The Associated Press

August 5, 2007

Once upon a time, a baby wearing sunglasses was merely a chance for a cute snapshot. Now, some eye doctors say parents should start putting sunglasses on babies as young as 9 months to protect their eyes. The cumulative effect of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays can cause early cataracts, these experts say.

Other eye doctors are skeptical, saying no medical studies link childhood sun exposure to later eye disease.

But makers of sunglasses aren’t waiting around for more research. Foster Grant, Julbo and Baby Banz have designed sunglasses ($15 to $30 per pair) with wraparound straps to keep them on a little one’s head. The frames come in pink, blue and dozens of other colors and patterns.

Dr. Nathalie Azar, a pediatric ophthalmologist at University of Illinois Chicago, applauds the products and encourages parents to start sunglasses young.

“The sooner you do it, the better. If kids get into the habit, they can learn to keep sunglasses on,” says Azar, who is working with the Lions Club International on a campaign to get kids to wear sunglasses.

Dr. Richard Lewis, professor of ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, says there’s only suggestive evidence of harm. For example, people who live at high altitudes and don’t wear sunglasses are more prone to cataracts than people at lower altitudes. He doesn’t push sunglasses for babies. He says, “Is it an OK idea? Sure. Is there good rational scientific proof? No.”

Weighing the evidence, many parents will decide to err on the side of caution. Here are some tips from the American Academy of Ophthamology for protecting babies’ and children’s eyes:

Look for sunglasses that offer protection from UVA and UVB, two types of ultraviolet light that can injure the eye. Cheap sunglasses, without UV protection, actually do more harm than good because tinted lenses cause the pupils to dilate, letting in damaging UV rays.

Choose frames made from polycarbonates, which are less likely to break. Look for acrylic or other scratch-resistant lens material.

Let older children choose their sunglasses. Make sure they try them on to check for comfort.

Select frames with a built-in saddle for the nose. They’re more durable than ones with adjustable nose pads.

Be aware that light-colored eyes have less pigment and are more sensitive to the sun.

Buy prescription sunglasses or clip-on sunglasses for children who wear prescription eyeglasses.

Offer brimmed hats and baseball caps to children who just won’t wear sunglasses.

Be a good role model. Wear your own sunglasses and hats outdoors.

These days, just about everyone wears sun glasses: man and woman, adult and child, even pets! For some people, they’re a necessary part of the wardrobe and their “look” wouldn’t be complete without a pair. In fact, many people have several pairs - so that they’ll have at least one to complement whatever outfit they are wearing for the day or night.

But sun glasses aren’t always worn just to look cool. More importantly, they are used to protect the eyes from the negative effects of harsh sunlight and ultraviolet rays. Too much exposure to the sun can actually damage the eyes, causing a condition known as photokeratitis. Just as your skin can get sunburned if you don’t take precautionary measures (like putting on sunblock or carrying a parasol), so too can your eyes get sunburned. And unbeknownst to many people, the sun doesn’t have to be high and shining in order to damage your eyes. Even if the day is overcast and cloudy, don’t make the mistake of thinking that your eyes are safe, because those potent ultraviolet rays are still at work and your eyes can still take a beating from them. High-quality protective eyewear can help reduce the incidence of photokeratitis and other eye diseases by blocking ultraviolet rays.

When shopping for a pair of shades, don’t just consider how stylish they will look. Make sure to prioritize those that offer 100% ultraviolet or UV protection because these will completely block ultraviolet rays from your eyes. Also, eye experts recommend buying protective eyewear having lenses that are colored green, brown, or gray since they filter out UV rays so much better. And in order to maximize protection, go for wrap-around pairs, or those with lenses that completely cover and closely hug the eye area. Since wrap-around shades fit snugly over the skin around the eyes, they are more effective in preventing UV rays from entering from the top or the sides of the glasses.

It is no trouble at all to go out and buy a pair of sun glasses. They’re widely available in malls and specialty stores. Most can be purchased without a prescription, although getting the advice of an optician on the best type of sun glasses to buy can’t hurt.

Sunglasses get ‘thumbs up’ from students

Arncliffe Public School has introduced compulsory wearing of sunglasses for students from kindergarten to Year 6, to protect their eyes.

The students say they would also be happy to wear their glasses after school, principal Stephan Vrachas said.

“They overwhelmingly said of course they would, they were glad to do so,” he told Macquarie Radio.

Mr Vrachas said wearing sunglasses would become “routine” for his students.

Education Minister John Della Bosca said the state government would look at making sunglasses compulsory in all public school playgrounds if there was a call for it.

“It is conceivable that in certain environments it might be appropriate to wear sunglasses when they are playing in the sun,” Mr Della-Bosca told reporters.

The widespread wearing of hats and sunscreen, along with flexible recess hours to avoid the midday sun, showed how rapidly times had changed in schools, he said.

“These were things that were not conceived as important 20 years ago,” he said.

A specialist at Sydney Eye Hospital said all eye specialists agreed that wraparound glasses were the best for eye protection.

“Up to 30 per cent of the sun damage comes from the side and not directly from the front,” cornea specialist Con Petsoglou told AAP.

Children should be encouraged to wear glasses “from the age of three or four”, Dr Petsoglou said, especially in summer.

Ultraviolet exposure in summer was up to five times more than in the winter, he said.

“That is the most critical time when they should be having the sunglasses on.”

Opposition education spokesman Andrew Stoner said he supported the Arncliffe scheme, but the cost to the taxpayer of supplying sunglasses and the health benefits from medical experts need to be looked at before they were introduced to all state schools.

“In terms of wider applications, I think those issues need to be considered,” Mr Stoner said.
