Spending time in the sunshine feels great—but did you know your eyes need protection from the sun just as much as your skin?
Too much exposure to UV rays can increase your risk of:
⚠️ Cataracts
⚠️ Macular degeneration
⚠️ Eye irritation and damage over time

The good news? Protecting your vision is simple!
🕶️ Easy ways to keep your eyes safe:
✅ Wear sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays
✅ Choose wraparound styles for extra protection
✅ Add a wide-brimmed hat for even more shade
✅ Never look directly at the sun
💬 Don’t forget! UV rays can affect your eyes even on cloudy days—so make eye protection part of your daily routine.

Our Wednesday Club speaker was Mara Foster-Gray, MS, CVRT, from Venango County Association for the Blind and she brought her expertise in Vision Rehabilitation Therapy to our group.

Mara presented a range of assistive living items designed to promote independence in daily life. She highlighted various tools including magnifiers, lighting, bump dots, label makers, watches, clocks, writing guides, digital pens, and electronic devices. She also introduced simple everyday processes that could help with functionality in personal care and tasks in their homes.

Everyone found something unique and purposeful that they could put into effect in their daily living!
