Learn why I ALWAYS wear sunglasses! Here is a list of ways sunglasses protect your eyes and vision that you didn’t know about! ***** Check out polarized sunglasses from Christopher Cloos here: https://bit.ly/3mEZ7wI

Sunglasses are not only a great fashion accessory and helpful for reducing light sensitivity (photophobia), but there are also many health benefits of sunglasses. That is exactly why I wear sunglasses.
Sunglasses SHOULD protect against ultraviolet light (UV light) and this helps prevent many different eye diseases and eyelid diseases from developing.
