It is important to always shield children, babies, and individuals with sensitive skin from prolonged exposure to the sun. Given the potency of the midday Sun's UV radiation, one should avoid prolonged exposure. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Consider this! The reflection from snow can almost double the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation.
