Sunglasses in Winter

It is a common misconception that sunglasses are only needed in the summer but it’s so important to remember to wear sunglasses in winter too. 

If sunglasses keep your eyes safe from harmful rays in the summer months, then they are twice as much needed in winters.

Research shows that winter brings with it a double threat to eye damage.

Sun rays can still carry the same UVA and UVB rays as they do in summers and in snowy regions, the threat to eyes get doubled as snow acts as a reflective medium for the rays.

Experts say that winter sun sits lower in the sky and at a different angle than summer months. It actually leads to more exposure to harmful sun rays if one is out for a longer period of time. It can be damaging to various layers of the eye.
