We all know how the sun can age our skin, but experts warn it can also damage our eyesight.

Ultraviolet, or UV, light can lead to a number of conditions that can affect vision, such as cataracts.

Our eyes can even get sunburn.

To avoid eye damage, optometrists say we need to properly protect our eyes when out in the sun, but the good news is that we do not need expensive sunglasses for the protection we need.

Dr Malgorzata Rozanoswka, from Cardiff University's School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, said adequate protection was required, including "proper sunglasses", sun cream with high sun protection factor (SPF) and wide brimmed hats.
