Today is National Sunglasses Day and what better way to celebrate than shedding some light on why sunglasses are so important. Most people I know typically prefer driving during the day because they can see better and there is no glare from street lights and headlights. I can totally agree with this, but there is still glare during the day. The sun shining into your windshield can sometimes be a big problem when driving; especially if you have to squint to see better. I wear sunglasses pretty much everyday including on overcast days and in the winter. And they do make my driving experience a whole lot better. I do not have to squint while driving so it is just an overall comfortable experience.
There are many types of sunglasses out there so you want to be sure to choose a pair that will aid in your vision rather than hinder it. Frames that are over sized can obstruct your peripheral vision so you’ll want to choose ones like aviators or perhaps a type with large lenses and thin arms. The best lens colors are grey and brown (that are polarized) as they do not alter how colors appear. The amber toned ones are fine as well. It is best to stay away from those pink, blue or green lenses when it comes to driving. You also need to take into consideration the tint of the lenses. Wearing a pair that is too dark can impede your driving ability. It is always best to consult with your eye doctor when considering using sunglasses while driving. They can fit you with the right style, and lens type.
Driving with sunglasses helps reduce the glare from the sun and protect you from harmful UV rays. If you find yourself having a problem with squinting while driving I definitely recommend wearing sunglasses. Not only are they protecting you from the sun's harm, they also help with the glare.
