Celebrating National Sunglasses Day!

As photophobia is a frequent accompaniment to nystagmus and ocular albinism, we’re happy to join in a day of celebrating sunglasses and raising awareness of the importance of protecting your eyes, whether you have nystagmus or not, from damaging UV rays.

We’re enjoying some beautiful, warm sunny weather across the whole of the UK right now, but for some the sun means discomfort and it can damage your sight.

Always remember to protect the eyes from bright light, inside and out, with UV protective sunglasses (make sure you check the label before buying), caps and sun hats, parasols, canopies and window blinds.
