It is a golden time to highlight Ultraviolet Awareness Month since summer is right around the corner. Every human being of any skin pigmentation and age is susceptible to UV damage. Make sure to wear the proper UV blocking sunglasses and wide brim hat to protect yourself from the damaging UV rays. People with light-colored eyes (blue, green & hazel) need to make sure that they prioritize covering up with a hat and UV-blocking glasses. Some studies show that UV exposure and light irises may increase the risk of rare eye cancers such as melanoma of the iris or uveal melanoma.
