Yes, you should wear sunglasses even on cloudy days. UV rays can penetrate clouds and still cause damage to your eyes. This is especially important if you have light-colored eyes, as they are at a higher risk for sun damage and AMD progression.

Yes, you should wear sunglasses even on cloudy days. UV rays can penetrate clouds and still cause damage to your eyes. This is especially important if you have light-colored eyes, as they are at a higher risk for sun damage and AMD progression.

For the best protection, make sure to wear sunglasses or a hat with a brim whenever you're outside during daylight hours. This helps protect your eyes from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays, which can affect your eye health regardless of the weather conditions.

I always wear them when I’m outside during the day. I’m finding that I’m getting sunspots when the sun is out, too.
