You just posted further publicly on the topic.
I merely stated what everyone should know, not what I know specifically.

If UV exposure is sufficient for advice to be given to protect eyesight, you can bet it is sufficient to cause skin cancer first. In Australia, the incidence of skin cancer is astronomical compared with cataracts/eye damage due to the sun in the same age groups. I've not heard of people being told to protect their eyes when traveling to Oz. I have certainly heard advice to protect from sun burn though...
