Protect Your Delicate Eyes with UV Blocking Contacts from Acuvue. FASHIONTRIBES BEAUTY BLOG

Improve upon Mother Nature with colored contacts from Acuvue.

Whether your winter plans involve skiing, snowboarding, mountain climbing, shoveling snow, or just strolling outside this winter, it’s important to protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. In particular, be careful around snow, which the World Health Organization estimates may reflect up to 80 percent of the rays back into your eyes. 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.

If you're a contact wearer, all Acuvue contact lenses offer effective UV-blocking, and their Advance brand with Hydraclear blocks more than 90 percent of UVA & 99 percent of UVB (as compared with regular contacts which only block 10% of UVA & 30% of UVB). Available at Acuvue.com.
