Importance of Sunglasses during Winter

While nobody disputes the importance of wearing sunglasses in the summer, the importance of sunglasses in the winter might be overlooked. At Livermore Optometry Group, serving Livermore, CA, Dublin, CA, and Pleasanton, CA, an “optometrist near me” can provide an eye exam and other eye care to help our patients maintain their eye health.

Sunglasses can protect your eyes from UV rays that can strain them. Even though the sun is not as strong in the winter, the danger of the rays is still very much present. An eye doctor on our team can make sure that you have the right sunglasses to protect your eyes with UV protection year round.

Snow Glare

When the sun hits the snow on the ground, it is reflected and it can be very bright. In order to see clearly,  get the protection that sunglasses provide.

Wind

The weather can be very hard on your eyes in the winter. When the wind is blowing it can cause your eyes to dry out. Sunglasses can protect your eyes from the wind to help keep them moist.

Debris

The wind can also pick up dust and other debris and throw them into your eyes. The good news is that sunglasses can protect your eyes from the debris so you can better enjoy your time outdoors.
