We are now into the heat of the summer here in St Louis. Add in social distancing activities and that means lots of outdoor time. If you have a new scar, make sure to not neglect it during those fun summer events. Too much sun exposure can cause a scar to discolor and not change to a nice faded line. The scar can also become more thick and hard.

This summer likely finds many people spending even more time outdoors engaging in activities that allow for social distancing such as hiking, gardening, and home maintenance projects.  The American Academy of Ophthalmology  and  National Eye Institute  offer the following recommendations that can be followed to protect your eyes from sun exposure and other hazards.
