Sun Safety: How to Protect Your Skin and Eyes (Webinar Recording)

While you can’t escape San Diego’s year-round sunshine, you can help safeguard your skin and eyes. We all know that sun damage can lead to premature aging and potential skin cancers like melanoma, but our eyes are also vulnerable to the sun’s rays, and without proper protection, serious damage can occur. 

Scripps Clinic dermatologist Sophia Akhiyat, MD and Qualcomm Health Center Optometrist, Renee White, OD share practical advice for protecting your skin and eyes. Topics include skin cancer risk factors, prevention, screening and the benefits of early detection. Dr. White discusses the effects of UV rays, eye protection and how to avoid vision issues from sun exposure.
