Sunbed users' eye concerns

SUNBED-LOVERS are risking their eyesight by failing to wear protective goggles or shades, British experts warned yesterday.

UV damage caused by bright sunbed lamps can cause long-term problems and growths in the eyes, according to the College of Optometrists.

Merely closing the eyes while on the sunbed does not offer full protection, with the skin there being so thin it is at risk of burning.
