The survey asked participants about their knowledge of UV exposure and long term eye damage, if they used eye protection during exposure to sunlight and if they used protection during indoor tanning sessions. In regards to tanners\u2019 knowledge of UV exposure and eye damage, almost all respondents (96%) knew that unprotected UV exposure can lead to long term damage of the eyes. 92% of those surveyed agreed that they always use eye protection when tanning indoors and 72% stated they use protection when exposed to UV from the sun. Cosgrove attributed these results to the extensive training her employees receive, \u201cWe teach all employees the eye protection requirement and that all customers (be made) aware of the long term opportunity for eye damage that could result from not using proper eyewear.\u201d In fact 85% of clients have purchased their own personal FDA compliant eyewear from Tanworld, and the remaining 15% have access to FDA compliant disposable eyewear. \u201cThe media and many anti-tanning factions suggest that most tanners are not using eyewear and they are promoting the need for more aggressive labeling to make indoor tanners more aware of eye protection when exposed to UV. We felt that this was inaccurate and wanted to survey our customers to find the truth,\u201d stated Cosgrove. Having properly trained employees is crucial because they are the first (and sometimes only) line of contact with customers. Cosgrove\u2019s training of employees on the knowledge and use of proper eyewear fits perfectly with Smart Tan\u2019s philosophy of always using eye protection.
