Why you need a good pair of sunglasses

You should own some decent polarized sunglasses.

The fun ones can make your outfit pop or hold your hair back off your face, but they really should be on your eyes!

Just why is it so important to wear sunglasses?

Sunglasses can protect your eyes from the elements.

Anytime we take part in outdoor adventures, we risk getting something in our eyes.

Sand, wind, and debris can irritate your eyes.

Even worse, these things could scratch your cornea and cause permanent damage.

If you think living in the wintery parts of the world exempts you from needing sunglasses, you are wrong!

While snow might be less abrasive, it reflects UV rays from the sun at your eyes.

Snow blindness is a real thing!

When there is lots of snow on the ground here, I have to wear my sunglasses even if it is gloomy out because my eyes hurt!

Certain eye diseases are also caused by UV damage like cataracts, macular degeneration, and pterygium.

Skin is not the only thing that needs protection from the sun, so go ahead and invest in a good pair of sunglasses—just try not to lose them!

Why do we lose so many pairs of sunglasses?

I buy so many, and they all disappear!
