Şırnak State Hospital Ophthalmology Specialist Dr. Gazi Bekir Özçakmakçı said, “In order to protect ourselves from the sun's rays, we should not go out especially between 10.00 and 16.00 if we do not have much work. If we have a job and we should not go out, sunscreens should be applied around our eyes and sunglasses should be used.”
The use of sunglasses has a great place in the summer months as the sun makes its effect felt better and better. Sunglasses, which are important to use in order to protect against sun rays and protect eye health, cause serious diseases with the opposite effect when fakes are preferred.
Şırnak State Hospital Ophthalmology Specialist Dr. Gazi Bekir Özçakmakçı said that the sun's rays are reflected to the world as ultraviolet rays and have many side effects on the eyelids and eyes. Stating that it causes many problems in the eyelid, especially skin cancers, Dr. Özçakmakçı said, “At the same time, it can cause stains and cancers in the cornea, the transparent layer of the eye, and the conjunctiva, the white layer of the eye. Dry eye is at the forefront of this. Apart from this, the transparent lens of our eye can also cause cataracts. In our vision center, it can accelerate yellow spot disease, which we usually see in advanced ages.”
“In order to protect ourselves from the sun's rays, we should not go out especially between 10.00-16.00 if we do not have a lot of work,” said Dr. Özçakmakçı, ”If we have work and we should not go out, sunscreens should be applied around our eyes and sunglasses should be used. We need to open a parenthesis for sunglasses, we must use them with a doctor's recommendation; at the same time, using approved lenses of certain brands has a great effect on eye health.”
