Sunglasses in the Winter
Many people interpret the grey skies of December to mean that the days of shielding our eyes from the blistering summer sun are over. But did you know protecting your eyes is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer months?
Winter Is Harder On The Eyes
It’s true. In fact, during winter even though there isn’t much direct sunlight, the UV rays actually double. Especially if you experience a lot of snow, because UV rays are actually able to reflect off of snow, therefore attacking your eyes from all angles.
How To Fight UV Rays
Quality, UV protecting sunglasses.
Excessive exposure to UV rays has been linked to the development of vision problems such as cataracts and even macular degeneration. Constant exposure to UV rays also greatly contributes to the aging and wrinkles around your eye. Therefore, a great pair of polarized lenses is your best defense in the winter time.
Is there a difference between cheap sunglasses from the drugstore and brand name sunglasses from America’s Best?
You bet.
Getting A Good Pair of Sunglasses
A good pair of sunglasses protect from intense light, from UV rays, and from glare. Protection from all of these things is especially critical in the winter months, because your eyes endure the most stress in winter than in any other season, due to cold winds, drastic temperature changes and the like.
Cheap sunglasses from the drugstore don’t protect or only partially protect you from all these things. Ray-Ban® sunglasses, or any other designer sunglasses, are not only made out of better materials and well-developed lenses, but some can block UV lights completely, block intense light such as reflections by up to 97% and dramatically reduce glare offering you a comfortable, safer experience.
And at America’s Best, you can get these great designer sunglasses filled with your prescription.
Last but not least, we’re America’s Best Contacts and Eyeglasses, which means we bring you the best brands for the lowest prices. We don’t sacrifice quality, safety or even fashion and we want our customers to look good and feel great about their purchase.
So come in today and check out our great selection of prescription sunglasses. Remember, if you’re already in the market for new eyeglasses; consider Transitions™ lenses, which are photochromic lenses. Transitions® lenses are a great and convenient alternative to traditional eyeglasses that provide the same great protection outdoors. They don’t darken in cars (due to UV block windshields) but are an option you should definitely consider if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Learn more about Transitions® lenses.
