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.

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.
