The most important benefit of wearing Sunglasses is that they protect the eyes from the ultraviolet rays. Uv rays can damage the eyelids ,the outer eye including the cornea the lens and the retina. This damage is heightened if near water or snow due to extra reflections . They also protect the skin around the eye thereby preventing line and wrinkles.
In contradiction to the myth of there is no sun, sunglasses should be worn every day. Winter or summer , cloudy or sunny , UV rays are present, and out to damage the eyes.
