Children should wear sunglasses because their eyes are more vulnerable to damage from the sun than adults' eyes are.

Children should wear sunglasses from three - Telegraph

Extract:

"Children as young as three should wear sunglasses to protect their eyes, according to opticians.

Industry figures claim parents are putting their children's eyes at risk by ignoring the dangers of the sun's harmful rays.


Their comments follow new research which shows that, by the age of 18, children will have absorbed 80 per cent of their lifetime exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.

Children's eyes are more vulnerable to damage from the sun than adults' eyes because the cornea, lens and fluids are clearer, allowing more light to reach the retina.

Exposure to UV light increases the risk of cataracts (the clouding of the lens), pinguecula (the thickening of the white of the eye) and pterygium (a growth over the surface of the cornea)."

It would be best to read the whole article as there is quite a lot of detail.

Cataracts are also one of the many conditions that are often linked to salt sensitivity and fluid retention, and can be prevented or made less severe, or their progress slowed down, by lowering salt intake.
