After choosing the right sunglasses, pay attention to the outdoors. UV rays are reflected off of water and white sand, which increases your need for eye protection. It is especially important to avoid the sun or wear adequate eye protection during the mid-day hours (10a.m. – 3p.m.) when the sun’s rays are the strongest. And top your head with a hat – just the simple combination of a hat and sunglasses can give you all the protection you need to protect those baby blues.
