If you know BabyDashCo, you'd know that she slathers the sunscreen on her kids. She wants to protect them from skin cancer now and in the future. Another thing most people don't realize is the sun can cause major eye damage. Water play and skiing are the most damaging to the eyes besides starring straight into the sun, which you should never do. You should wear protective eye gear as often as you can. Did you know that children's eyes are at increased risk for permanent eye damage from sunlight until they're at least 10 years old? Yeah, scary, and unlike skin cells, eye lenses cannot repair themselves. Once they're damaged, they're damaged forever, and can lead to serious eye disease and even blindness.
