Sunlight exposure is important for children’s eye health but should be managed carefully. Moderate exposure to natural sunlight helps in the healthy development of children’s vision and may reduce the risk of myopia (nearsightedness). However, too much exposure to UV rays can harm their eyes, leading to long-term damage like cataracts or macular degeneration later in life. To protect their eyes, children should wear UV-blocking sunglasses and hats when outdoors, especially during peak sunlight hours. Encouraging outdoor play in shaded areas can also help balance the benefits of sunlight while minimizing harmful exposure.
