Test Your “EYE-Q” – Intermediate Version
The Beginner’s Version of “Test your ‘Eye-Q’” in the July 2017 issue was a big hit! Here are a few tougher questions often asked by salon guests. How would you answer them?
Q: If I’m wearing eye protection during my tanning session and open my eyes, am I risking eye damage?
A: If you wear FDA-compliant eyewear that fits properly, your eyes are completely protected from UV light. Feel free to open your eyes to check the time, adjust the fans and change channels on the sound system. As long as your eyewear fits properly, you are protecting your vision. Your eyelids block less than 25% of damag- ing rays, so keeping them closed when you AREN’T wearing eyewear
is NOT protection!
Q: I cover my face during sunbed sessions. Do I need to wear eye protection?
