Why must protective eyewear be worn while tanning indoors?
The goggles that you wear while tanning indoors are very important. Your eyelids alone offer almost no protection against UV light, which can damage the cornea and retina and lead to cataracts. Not using proper eye protection may also result in short term effects such as tired, itchy eyes, headaches and loss of night vision. No one should ever be in a tanning bed/booth without approved eye protection. Buy your own pair to avoid the risk of infections like pink-eye which are easily transmitted. Don’t take chances with your eyes.
