America's Best Recommends that Everyone Wear Sunglasses Around Snow

    NORCROSS, GA, November 15, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Eyeglasses retailer America's Best would like to encourage everyone to remember their sunglasses whenever they are around the snow this winter.

You may have noticed that when near snow, light tends to seem a bit brighter. This is because snow is particularly good at reflecting light. Unfortunately, this means that Ultraviolet (UV) rays are being reflected onto us as well. To protect yourself, you should always wear sunscreen on your skin and sunglasses with UV protection on your eyes.

A fresh coat of snow on the ground can be very inviting, and many enjoy sports such as skiing during the winter. While this is a great way to have fun and enjoy the outdoors, it is important to be aware that UV rays are still very strong during the winter. Once you add the reflectivity of snow into that picture, it is clear that protective eyewear is critical.

Be cautious of deceptively cloudy days, as well. Though you may not need sunglasses to keep you from squinting, there is still the danger of UV rays, especially if you are out in the snow.

"UV radiation can have very negative health effects on all of the body, including the eyes," explains Dr. Grace Kim, Chairperson for the Clinical Advisory Panel of America's Best. "A good rule of thumb is that if you think you should be putting on sunscreen, you should be putting on sunglasses as well."

America's Best has a wide selection of sunglasses for any budget or style. Pick up a pair of designer glasses frames, and you will be both fashionable and safe from the sun all year long.
