Keeping your Eyes Healthy

Sunlight, specifically ultraviolet (UV) radiation, has been linked to several eye conditions, including cataracts and early onset age-related macular degeneration. In yachting it’s hard to avoid the sun, but it is easy to protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses. Sunglasses need not bear a designer label or cost hundreds of dollars to do their job properly.

How important is the right gear for you? We all look at safety as being an integral part of our job but how important is it for our eyes? Something most commonly overlooked in this industry is eye safety and eye protection. As crew, you are often exposed to harsh conditions, working in challenging environments with risks behind every wave. This exclusive workshop teaches you the importance of eye care and how the right eyewear can improve your functionality onboard and preserving your eyesight.

If you’re curious to know if your sunnies are suitable for your line of work then come down to this workshop and get them tested by Leila from Crew Eyewear.
