Protect Your Eyes When It Is Sunny, Winter or Summer!

 Wearing sunglasses while skiing, sledding or skating in the winter is important for several reasons....much the same for a hot sunny day in summer:

1. Protection from UV rays: The sun's rays can be just as harmful in the winter as they are in the summer. In fact, the snow can reflect up to 80% of the sun's rays, increasing your exposure to UV radiation. Wearing sunglasses with UV protection can help prevent eye damage from prolonged sun exposure.

2. Reduced glare: The bright winter sun and the reflection off the snow can create a lot of glare, making it difficult to see clearly. Wearing sunglasses with polarized lenses can help reduce glare and improve visibility, allowing you to see potential hazards on the slopes more easily.

3. Wind and debris protection: Skiing involves high speeds and cold winds, which can dry out and irritate your eyes, and also lead to debris like snow and ice hitting your eyes. Wearing sunglasses can help protect your eyes from wind, debris and other environmental factors.

In summary, wearing sunglasses while skiing, sledding or skiing in the winter provides protection from UV rays, reduces glare, and offers wind and debris protection, all of which can help make your outdoor experience safer and more comfortable.  Same for the summer.

It's also important to wear sunglasses when driving longer distances in sunny weather, year round, to protect your eyes from the glare and fatigue.

Another excellent way to care for your eyes is a very special nutritional supplement called Visionex.

Important Tips to Improve Your Vision

Through many years of wearing Contact Lenses and Bifocals, I discovered a number of ways to take care of my vision.  Read through for the ultimate answer,  for me,  to not need glasses or contact lenses anymore.

1.  Get regular eye exams.  Regular eye exams are important for detecting any eye problems and correcting your vision with the appropriate prescription glasses or contact lenses.

2.  Eat a healthy diet.  Include fruits and vegetables, especially those that are rich in vitamins A, C and E, to help improve your vision.  To be assured of the full array of vitamins and nutrients that your body needs, add USANA's Nutitrional supplements for all ages.

3.  Practice good eye hygiene.  Wash your hands frequently.  Avoid rubbing your eyes.  Remove makeup before going to bed. 

4.  Exercise regularly.  This can improve blood flow to your eyes, reducing the risk of eye diseases.

5.  Wear protective eyewear to prevent eye injuries.  This is especially important if you are in a job with hazardous materials and wear small objects that can be flying.

6.  Take breaks when using screens.  Staring at a computer or phone screen for long periods can cause eye strain and dry eyes.  Look away from the screen every 20 minutes.  I find it is even better to get up and walk away from the screens.

7.  Get enough sleep, which is important for overall health, including the eyes.  Lack of sleep can cause eye fatigue and dry eyes.  Don't force your eyes to read regular print just as you wake up.  Give them time to adjust.

8.  Wear sunglasses.  Whether you’re hiking, biking, or hitting the pool, your outdoor lifestyle is likely affecting your retinas, but a good pair of sunglasses can only go so far.

9.  Add Visionex every day.   Give the delicate tissues of your eyes the protection they deserve with USANA’s advanced antioxidant eye-health supplement, designed to support long-term vision, with increased levels of Lutein.  This made a difference in my vision.  Remember that it takes time for the cells to regenerate.  Everyone is different, so give this
product time to make a difference to your vision.
