RAINY DAYreads

You don't have to put away your favourite sunglasses because it's cold. Wearing sunglasses in the winter is just as important as wearing them in the summer. In fact, your sunglasses are crucial for protecting your eyes against harsh winter elements such as cold wind, UV rays and reflective light.

Damaging Rays

Did you know that the sun's rays are still damaging throughout winter due to its lower position in the sky? Even if you can't feel the sun's warmth, it's still essential to protect your eyes against ultraviolet radiation from the sun. To keep your eyes safe, always keep a pair of sunglasses on hand, and wear quality polarised UV400 lenses to keep your precious eyes protected!

IS IT TIME TO UPDATE YOUR PRESCRIPTION?

Winter is the perfect time to sit down with a warm cup of coffee and read your favourite books, but if your eyes are straining and the words are starting to blur - it might be time to change your prescription.

Optometrists generally recommend an eye test every two years; however, you may need to have your eyes tested more frequently if you have medical conditions or eye-related issues.
