Cataracts begin in childhood. A light cause harm. Partly because they are usually out in the sun longer than most adults. Children also have a larger skin surface when compared with the rest of the body. Children s reserve is much less than adults.
Children dehydrate much more quickly, burn more quickly, get sicker from toxins.
Without a healthy ozone layer everyone is at risk. I look at the umbrella hat, or other wide-brimmed hat that shades the ears, sun glasses, long sleeves, sun block lotion as portable ozone layers. These protect from skin cancers, sun poisoning, and cataracts. Also, these are our anti-aging weapons. Hydration in the sun and heat is also essential.
