Let’s talk sunglasses…
I went to a workshop the other day and the presenter talked about sunglasses not being good for us. And there I was with my sunglasses sitting on my head!!😳
And she was right…sort of.
Wearing sunglasses when UV is low is not beneficial. It will mess with your circadian rhythm, your body’s timing.
But exposure to high UV with glare from water or sand or roads etc can cause damage to the eyes.
That day, it was the middle of the day with temps in the high 30s, bright blue skies and I was driving. That is a good time to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
Being out in the morning or late afternoon, or spending time in filtered sunlight with no glare, you’re better off without sunglasses. In fact, it’s really beneficial to have those rays of light entering your eyes!
