Baby Sunglasses

Parents that buy sunglasses for their kids are not just doing it because they want to have the coolest baby on the block.  Okay, maybe some of them are.  But most of them are doing it because they want to protect those precious little eyes.  Did you know that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, until they’re about 10 years old children are at an increased risk for permanent retinal damage from sunlight. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays can lead to eye disease, such as macular degeneration, which scientists now believe is a leading cause of blindness in adults.

Hint:  The sooner that you start to put shades on your baby, the more likely they will keep them on.  Always try them on outside on a sunny day so that they can see the difference.
