UVA and UVB rays have both been linked to skin cancer, cataracts, weakening the immune system, and premature aging of the skin.

Scary Fact: UVA and UVB rays have both been linked to cataracts. Cataracts affect nearly 22 million Americans age 40 and up. By the age of 80, more than 50% of all Americans have cataracts.
