Swimming and sun damage

Swimming and sun damage

I like to go swimming outdoors and also boogey boarding at the beach.

Do swimming goggles and sunglasses protect my eyes from the sun?

Do I have to worry about my eyes getting sun damage if I go out in the sun for water activities?

Many swim goggles have UV protection, sun glasses should all have UV protection. Also wear a hat and of course a high SPF sunblock.
