Sunglasses are an often-overlooked, but very important, piece of everyday health and safety equipment. Most people (myself included) don't wear them as often as they should. That's why you need to buy sunglasses you'll actually wear.
Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays, which can lead to cataracts. They also protect against blue light in the solar spectrum, which can lead to macular degeneration.
They also help protect the skin around your eyes from damage related to the sun - and from extra wrinkles that may be caused by squinting a lot. Plus, it's easier to see in bright light with sunglasses, and much easier to adjust when coming indoors from outside.
When you're driving, the sun can affect your safety - if you're shading your eyes with your hand, or squinting, you may miss something important.
What about winter? Even in winter, the sun's rays can affect your eyes. Plus, when there's snow on the ground, the reflective effect can make it seem brighter than when there's grass visible!
It's important to make sure you like your sunglasses so you don't avoid wearing them, so find a place that has a variety of options. Websites that sell a variety of designer eyeglasses will have stylish options for sunglasses as well, often at a great price.
Keep your eyes safe and healthy year-round!
