Hello everyone,

As spring arrives in South Korea, the beautiful cherry blossom season has begun, bringing joy to both locals and tourists. The pink and white cherry blossoms create a magical view across parks, roadsides, and mountains. People are excited to take photos, go on picnics, and enjoy the lovely weather. However, while enjoying these beautiful sights, health experts are giving important advice to everyone who plans to spend time outdoors: don’t forget to wear sunglasses.

During cherry blossom season, sunlight becomes stronger as the days get longer. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays are especially harmful to the eyes. When people go out to enjoy the blossoms, they often spend a lot of time under direct sunlight without realizing the damage it can do to their vision. According to health professionals, UV rays can increase the risk of long-term eye problems such as cataracts or damage to the retina if proper eye protection is not used.

That’s why experts strongly recommend wearing good-quality sunglasses during this season. Sunglasses with UV protection help block harmful rays and reduce the risk of eye strain or permanent damage. This is especially important during spring because the bright sunlight reflects off light-colored surfaces like cherry blossom petals, making the rays even more intense. Wearing a pair of protective sunglasses can keep your eyes safe while also making it easier to enjoy the scenery without squinting.

Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory anymore. They have become a necessary health tool when spending time outside, especially during seasons with strong sunlight like spring and summer. Whether you're going for a walk, attending a cherry blossom festival, or taking photos under the blooming trees, putting on a pair of sunglasses can help you stay both stylish and safe. It’s also a good idea to wear a hat and apply sunscreen to protect your skin while enjoying outdoor activities.

So, as you get ready to take those Instagram-worthy photos under the cherry trees, remember to pack your sunglasses too. You can enjoy the stunning views without risking your eye health. After all, spring is not only a time to admire nature’s beauty but also a time to take care of your well-being. Let’s enjoy the cherry blossom season safely and smartly by following this simple yet effective advice from experts.
