What are goggles for tanning beds for?
Goggles for tanning beds protect the eyes from harmful radiation. The Health Physics Society website states that in a tanning booth, the eye is likely to receive over one hundred percent more UV radiation than it does from the sun. Various kinds of damage such as corneal burns and cataracts can result from prolonged exposure to high concentrations of UV. Your eyelids alone do not actually tan, and nor do they provide your cornea protection from harmful rays. That is why it is essential to wear goggles for indoor tanning. Not doing so can adversely affect your vision, and in some cases, even cause blindness.
