Sunglasses

 

We recommend you wear sunglasses which can provide protection from ultraviolet light. UV light has been found to contribute to the development of cataracts and macular degeneration.

An additional option to consider for sunglasses is a pair of polarized sunglasses. Polarized lenses are popular with boaters, skiers, bikers, golfers, joggers, and people who drive their cars often because these lenses decrease glare. Light reflected from a surface is usually horizontally polarized; so the light travels in a more horizontal direction. Polarized lenses contain a filter that blocks this type of reflected light, decreasing glare and increasing how clearly you can see!
