Sunglasses At Christmas?
It does seem like a bit of a strange thing to say but the Christmas period could be a key time to be wearing the sunglasses. But why is this?
Sunlight
Believe it or not there are still harmful rays pushing through those clouds and hitting the earth’s surfaces. Just because it is cold on a sunny day it doesn’t mean that the sun isn’t as powerful so make sure that if the sun is out you are wearing those designer sunglasses as they will really help you out. The best thing to do is that if it is sunny, just pop them on, then you know that you are safe.
How on earth can the sun come through and damage the eyes on a cold day?
Well the thing is, UV rays are actually invisible meaning there is no way you can tell if they are pushing through or not. Do not go too far with it though, there is simply no need to wear them if it is chucking it down outside but take them with you if it is cloudy in case the sun breaks through. What happens is that the UV light goes into the eyes and cause a reaction in the tissue. Once this damage has been done there is no way it can be reversed which is why it is so important that you wear those ray ban sunglasses.
- Eye Disease
- The sun can play a really big role in these diseases:
- Cataract
- Pteryguim
- Skin Cancer
- Age- Related Macular Degeneration
So as you can see it is certainly worth getting those sunglasses out. If you already where glasses then do not worry as you can get prescription sunglasses that are made for the sun!
So in the chilly season this year make sure that you have your sunglasses in your pocket at the very least to make sure the eyes are fully protected.
