Sunglasses During Winter!

It may seem that winter and sunglasses are two non compatible notions. Many people believe that wearing sunglasses at winter time is odd, others think it is a simple tribute to fashion.

However, even if the winter sun is not warming us, it still continues reflecting ultra violet rays. Especially it concerns those days, when the sun is standing low above the horizon, with the snow lying on the ground and reflecting its rays. Naturally in this case our eyes are imposed to significant stress, and it is more than necessary to wear sunglasses.

In addition, a high level of contrast ration during snowy time also has a negative impact on eyesight.

During sunny, but windy days the glasses can protect eyes and help avoid the necessity to blink constantly.

When buying sunglasses for winter time, make sure they provide 100% protection from UV rays. Also pay attention to the darkening rate, which can be of one of the following types:

·15% - usually used in the so-called fashion spectacles;

·30% - an urban type of glasses, which can be used both in sunny and dull days;

·60% darkening rate – aimed at usage in very bright sun;

·Very dark, almost black tint for winter sports.

The best glasses for protection of the eye in the urban conditions would be those with 30-60% darkening rate.

As regards lens color, for winter period you can opt for classical colors, such as grey, brown and army green.
