UVB of sufficient intensity can harm the outer surface of the eye in a matter of hours. UVA can harm structures within the eye in a matter of years of consistent exposure.
Another important consideration is glare protection. Glare causes discomfort and eyestrain. It also interferes with clear vision when looking toward sources of glare such as the sun or reflected glare.
