Newswise — Although the summer sun is a thing of the past, protecting your eyes from ultra-violet (UV) rays is just as important as ever. This winter, whether you hit the slopes, escape to the tropics or relax at home, sunglasses are a must! The Vision Council shares tips on how to winterize your eyes this season.

Snow StoppersYou don’t have to sacrifice style for protection while racing down that black diamond (or sliding down the bunny hill). Ski goggles and performance sunwear - available in a wide range of colors and styles - provide the best of both worlds. In addition to mountain chic style, they offer polarized lenses, key for minimizing glare from the snow and ice and enhancing overall visibility while on the slopes.

Island ChicIf relaxing on a warm, tropical isle is more your speed, make sure to do so in a beach-worthy pair of sunglasses. Opt for oversized frames to prevent crows-feet (and hiding your eyes while ogling cute surfers). Sunglasses in rich jewel tones, purples and greens are top choices to go with that itsy bitsy bikini. StaycationEven if you plan on staying home this winter, protecting your eyes from the sun is still important. From shopping with friends to a lunch date, make sure to do it in style with a great pair of sunglasses! Spice up a sweater and jeans with shades with elegant temple detailing like woven leather or beautiful gems or exude a timeless look with black or tortoise sunglasses, perfect for any outfit.
