Just because summer is over, it does not mean you have to stop shielding your eyes in style. Even in the winter months, polarised sunglasses block glare from light reflecting off flat surfaces better than any other type of sunglass lens. Polarised sunglasses can be helpful for driving too, because they reduce direct reflective glare from the hoods of vehicles and light-coloured pavements.

Some light-sensitive people, including those who have had cataract surgery, will benefit from these sunglasses. Most importantly, polarised sunglasses provide advantages when it comes to decreasing eye strain and discomfort in bright sunlight. The winter sun is lower, so it spends more time at eye level. That means that UV damage can be worse than in the summer. So, protecting your eyes at this time of year is just as important as it is in summer.
