Believe it or not wearing sunglasses over the christmas period could really be a key thing and it does sound like a strange thing to do. But why is this?
Sunlight
It is very hard to believe that harmful UV lights can still push through the clouds and hit the earth surface. 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 sunglasses as they will really help you out. One of the best things you can do is just pop them on if it is a bit sunny out then at least you know 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. Of course if it is raining outside you really do not need to take them out with you but if you think it could be sunny out then just go for it. The UV light will actually go into the eyes and start to cause a reaction within 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 this winter make sure that even if it is a bit chilly out that you at least have your sunglasses with you to make sure your eyes are fully protected.
