Sunglasses in the Snow
The summer heat may be over but your eyes are far from out of the danger zone when it comes to the sun. When it snows, regardless of whether the sun is out or not, UVA/UVB is reflected off of the stark white and can affect your eyes. When there is a lot of snow on the ground, you risk becoming snow blind if you don’t wear the proper eye protection. Sunglasses are absolutely a must in the fall and winter and with snow hitting the ground for the first time in the season already (albeit early) there is no time like the present to get a new pair of shades.
UV Protection: UVB exposure is credited as the cause of cataracts in old age. Much like you can get sunburned, UVB rays can cause serious damage to your eyes.
Polarized Lenses: If you are doing outdoor sports, you want sunglasses with polarized lenses. These glasses reduce glare and make your overall environment much sharper.
Mirrored Lenses: It’s not just about being mysterious. True, other people won’t be able to see your eyes. But in conditions when glare is strong, they can be very helpful.
