Frequent wearing of sunglasses may be fashionable but an expert has warned that it could damage your eyesight.

It is not uncommon to see people wearing dark glasses to protect their eyes, especially during a hot day. But Nuptal Sarmah, an ophthalmologist from ASG Eye Hospital in Nakasero, Kampala, says some of the sunglasses damage human eyes since they expose those wearing them to ultra-violet rays causing muscular degeneration and other conditions which affect vision.
