5 Reasons to Wear Sunglasses all Winter Long

Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement; they’re an essential aspect of your daily eye care routine. UV protection might seem like a no-brainer during the bright summer months, but research has proven that sunglasses are just as important during winter. Discover how sunglasses can benefit the health of your eyes all winter long.

Reduce Glare

The glare from snow, ice, and water is extremely bright and can lead to serious vision impairment. Wearing sunglasses can reduce glare to provide safer conditions when driving, snowboarding, or jogging.

Block UV Rays

Exposure to UV rays can lead to the development of cataracts and macular degeneration. Reduce your exposure to ultraviolet radiation by wearing sunglasses with 100% UVA, UVB, and UVC protection.

Protect from Debris

The Maryland winters can be especially windy, causing dust and debris to fly into your eyes while you’re outdoors. By wearing sunglasses, you can reduce the amount of debris and allergens that may enter your line of vision.

Reduce Eye Strain

The contrast of light on snow creates an exceptionally bright outdoor space. This can cause your eyes to dilate when you move indoors to outdoors, which can lead to eye strain and headaches. Reduce the possibility of eye strain by wearing sunglasses, so that your eyes do not have to strain to focus.

Improve Overall Vision

Wearing sunglasses each day helps to maintain healthy vision since they reduce glare, block UV rays, and reduce eye strain. Ensure that you’re not just purchasing the most attractive pair of sunglasses, but the pair that provides the most eye protection.
