The sun safety step Aussie parents are still forgetting
Sunscreen? Check. Hat? Check. Sunnies? …Oops.
We’re pros at sunscreen, hats and rashies, but when it comes to sun safety, there’s one thing many Aussie parents still skip: eye protection.
Around 80% of UV-related eye damage happens before age 18, and kids’ developing eyes let more rays reach the retina. That damage builds quietly over time, increasing the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
Whether it’s the school run, backyard play, or beach days, make sunglasses part of your child’s daily routine. Because the best adventures are the ones they’ll see clearly today and for years to come.
Even cloudy days can cause damage
Cooler months can be deceiving. Just because it’s cloudy or mild doesn’t mean UV rays take a break. They can’t be seen or felt, so even on overcast days, your child’s eyes could be exposed to harmful levels of UV.
A UV index of just 3–5 (which is common across Australia year-round) is enough to cause lasting eye damage. That’s why the Cancer Council recommends sunglasses that meet Australian Standards whenever the UV index is 3 or above.
