| dc.description.abstract | Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun can cause important health problems such as skin cancer, cataracts, eye problems, and suppression of the immune system. UV accumulated in our eyes throughout our lives can cause irreversible damage. Sunglasses are the most important tool in protecting our eyes from UV and helping us see. A survey about sunglasses usage and selection was administered to 311 participants who came to the optical store between 1-30 December 2023. Users were asked about their reasons for using sunglasses, the lens color they prefer, the UV protection information of the sunglasses, the harms of imitation sunglasses, and information about the surfaces that reflect the most UV rays. The obtained data were evaluated in the SPSS statistical program. While users' sunglasses usage status varies significantly according to age (p=0.002) and profession (p=0.000), there is no significant difference according to gender (p>0.005). When the users' knowledge level about sunglasses usage and selection criteria was examined, it was seen that their knowledge level was insufficient. By sharing these results of the study in the literature, it is aimed to increase public awareness on this issue and to raise public awareness by providing training on these issues. It is thought that with the conscious use of sunglasses in this area, there will be a decrease in cataracts, etc., which have an important place in the health and economy. | |
