You may think it’s winter, why do I need sunglasses? The importance of protecting your eyes doesn’t disappear once this cold weather rolls in! Here’s 4 reasons why sunglasses will benefit you in these cold months as well! 🥶❄️
1. Reduces the Risks of Snow Blindness
Snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays, sunglasses help prevent photokeratitis, a painful temporary “sunburn” of the eye.❄️
2. Improve Vision in Bright Conditions
They enhance contrast, sharpness, and overall visibility which is crucial when driving during bright Calgary sunrises and sunsets.🌇
3. Reduce Glare
Snow, water, ice, and even car windshields reflect sunlight. Quality sunglasses, especially polarized ones help reduce glare so you can see clearly and comfortably.
4. Sunglasses block UVA and UVB rays that can contribute to:
Cataracts, Macular degeneration and also protects the delicate skin around your eyes from wrinkles, sun spots and skin cancers! ☀️
