Whether skiing, snowboarding, mountain climbing, shoveling snow, or just strolling outside this winter, it’s important to protect your eyes from the sun’s powerful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Exposure to UV rays during winter can temporarily harm the eyes as well as increase the risk of developing sunlight-related eye disorders, including cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, two leading causes of reduced vision in the United States.
==>What’s also so great about the Rebuild Your Vision Program
is that you can do it almost anywhere. On your kitchen table, in your bed, at work, in a hotel room, wherever. And anyone can do the eye exercises. It doesn’t matter if you’re 9 or 90…
Ultraviolet radiation reaches the eye not only from the sky above but also by reflection from ground surfaces. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), while UV radiation is generally lower during winter months, snow reflection may double an individual’s overall exposure. The WHO advises that fresh snow may reflect as much as 80 percent
“The greatest measure of UV protection can be achieved with a combination of UV-absorbing sunglasses, UV-blocking contact lenses and a wide brimmed hat,” advises Brian Linde, OD, a Montana-based optometrist and past president of the Montana Optometric Association.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are two carotenoids found in both the retina and lens of the eyes that act as both powerful antioxidants, as well as like a having pair of “internal sunglasses” as they help filter UVA/UVB and blue light.
One or both of these nutrients can be found in such foods as green, leafy vegetables, orange and yellow peppers, broccoli, brussel sprouts, corn and eggs.
A number of peer review research studies have shown that supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin can significantly reduce the changes of getting macular degeneration. Taking fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) daily is also proving invaluable in helping prevent the onset of Macular Degeneration. These nutrients are also essential to take for those with macular degeneration in helping preserve vision as has been shown on the recent AREDS2 study.
