1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: It was around the road and catch up with Michael

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Craft from Spicksavors on Castreets and with these longer, finer days,

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: my goodness, the weekend was an absolute treat, wasn't it.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Talking the importance of protecting our eyes from UV and

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: there's different types of it.

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: There's two main players. UV A, which is deeper penetrating

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: rays which can actually go further into the eye to

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 2: the retina, and also UVB, which is more like the

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: front surface that can hit like your skin, the front

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: of the eye, the cornea and the lens as well.

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: We're quite familiar with sunburn on the skin to both

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: affect that in the same way they do our eyes exactly.

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: So UVA goes a bit deeper in UVB is that

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: surface level that which gives you that sunburn.

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: All the A sounds scary, Yeah, Can eyes get sunburnt

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: like skin?

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: Yes they can, so, I mean the skin around your

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: eyes can obviously get burnt, but also the front of

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: your eyes can get sunburned as well, called photokeratitis.

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: It's got name.

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: Its pretty nasty, so very good with the big names.

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: Everything in science has a really wacky, wacky name.

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: You'd be a great addition on a quiz team.

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: If anything I related come up, I could probably do

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: pretty well.

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Just try spelling it though, that could be the big challenge.

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: That's tricky, right, I drove to.

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: Christ Church talking the erratic weather. Drove to christ Church

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: the other day and she should tell you what. My

30
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: eyes were just feeling itchy enough by the time I

31
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: got to Hornby, and I'm wondering, well, should I be

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: surprised in the sense that was a cloudy, gray day?

33
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: Does that bring a bit of protection?

34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good question, but it's actually a bit of

35
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: a myth. So UV goes straight through clouds, and we

36
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: can have a pretty high UV index even on cloudy days.

37
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: So the good news is when you are driving, there

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: is a UV blocker in your windshields, so you're not

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: getting hit with that full force. But UV can also

40
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: come in from your side mirrors. They can also come

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: in from your side windows as well.

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: How do sunglasses protect?

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so when you're looking for sunglasses, you want something

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: that blocks out one hundred percent of the UVA and

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: UVB rays.

46
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: It's possible.

47
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, So when you want to look at it, if

48
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: you're buying them over the counter, look for something that

49
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: has the UV four hundred sticker on it, or or

50
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: that says that it blocks out one hundred percent of.

51
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: UV rays four hundred's top marks.

52
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: That's correct. It means that it blocks out one hundred percent.

53
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: Pretty much any sunglass that you'll get from your optometry

54
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: practice will meet those standards as well.

55
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: Shouldn't. But a bit of a giggle of those who

56
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: maybe spent a little longer out in the sun than

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: they intended to and they were rocking the sunglasses and

58
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: they come and so I take them off, and they've

59
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: got the raccoon effected guard on red shakes and then

60
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: the white surrounds. So that just goes to show how

61
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: they do work exactly.

62
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: And I would definitely say we're some sudscreen as well.

63
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: But the good thing with sunglasses is try to get

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: something that is a bit larger than what you would

65
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: normally get in a pair of glasses to protect more

66
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,559
Speaker 2: of your face, more of your eyes and skinned.

67
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Around and more fashionable.

68
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: It's all very cyclical. And I'll tell you we've actually

69
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: just got some new ones. Said they're going a bit

70
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: smaller again. Inside it's coming round again, yeah.

71
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: And fast. Before that happens for the sake of your

72
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: health exactly your face, and for the sake of the

73
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: children's think of the children just as important that they

74
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: rock the sunnies.

75
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly so. Sunglasses for children are also very important. One,

76
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: they just spend more time outside than us, so they're

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: more exposed to UV. Also, their eyelets and more UV

78
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: as well compared to adult eyes. So super important that

79
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: your children also wear sunglasses when they're outside.
