Sunglasses in Sunburn and sun protection


Sunglasses in Sunburn and sun protection

Sunglasses are a must in bright sunlight, and especially in areas where the surroundings reflect sunlight, such as beaches, glaciers, and deserts.
Travel Warning

WARNING: Wearing sunglasses with no UV protection causes more damage to your eyes than wearing no sunglasses at all, so make sure your sunglasses are from a reputable, UV-certified brand.

Also make sure your sunglasses leave no gaps in the field of vision: If you gaze downward and can see past the sunglasses, your eyes will still be exposed to some UV radiation. In environments with high UV intensity, such as high altitudes, use ski goggles rather than sunglasses. Though counter intuitive, clear or light tinted sunglasses offer better protection than dark tinted ones, since a) your natural aversion to sunlight is preserved, and b) your pupils remain constricted, letting less light into your eyes.
