As the frigid winter months arrive, many of us may be inclined to stow away our sunglasses. However, contrary to popular belief, they can help protect your eyes and your vision in cold climates. Before visiting Michigan Institute in Dearborn, Livonia, and Southfield, MI, learn about the importance of wearing sunglasses during winter below:
It is crucial to understand that UV rays are still present in the winter and they can be just as harmful as in the summer. Snow can reflect up to 80% of UV radiation, which means that wearing sunglasses during winter is essential for protecting your eyes from the potential damage. The sunglasses can also help reduce glare from snow and ice, providing visibility and decreasing eye strain during outdoor activities. Additionally, they can be beneficial in shielding your eyes from any harsh winds and cold temperatures.
Incorporating sunglasses into your winter wardrobe is not just a fashion statement, but also a vital practice for protecting your eye health. Whether you have a prescription or not, our eye doctors can help you find the right sunglasses. After an eye exam, we can recommend frames that you might like and offer a fitting. Our optical also provides a wide range of brands and styles that you can try, which will preserve your vision and suit your personality.
