What is required to ensure eye safety during tanning sessions?

Wearing eye protection during all tanning sessions is essential to ensure eye safety. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is emitted by tanning devices, can cause serious harm to the eyes, including conditions such as photokeratitis or cataracts. Proper eye protection, such as goggles specifically designed for tanning, provides a barrier that shields the eyes from harmful UV rays.

While sunglasses may provide some level of protection, they often do not fit securely or adequately cover the eyes, which increases the risk of UV exposure. Disposable eyewear can be used, but it is crucial that all clients wear appropriate eye protection consistently throughout their tanning sessions to maintain safety. Therefore, emphasizing the importance of wearing dedicated eye protection during each session aligns with best practices for safeguarding eye health in tanning environments.
