Desperate To Ski

The program for the next winter Olympics may just feature a new extreme sport invented here in the capital – known as autoskiing. An innovative group of daredevils recorded themselves sliding down city streets being towed by a car! The video features the adrenaline-hungry Muscovites riding not just roadsides, but taking on pretty much anything they could get up, down or over.

If you are skier or boarder seeking to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, you have  to get the right sunglasses. The best way for skiers to defend themselves from Ultraviolet rays is with proper clothing, which includes protective sunglasses that are imperative in shielding a skier’s eyes. Don’t just by a cheap pair of glasses otherwise you will put your  eyes at risk for many reasons.

In short, best thing to visit a qualified, local optician, get an eye test and advice on the best sunglasses available to you. Everybody has an optician nearby, so why not pop in. Your lenses need to provide 100% protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays and just look good on you. UV rays can quickly burn your eyes if they areas are not adequately safeguarded, or if exposure to the sun is extensive. Damaging or loosing your eye sight is a lot more expensive than a decent pair of sun glasses:

Key things to look out for when choosing sunglasses for skiing and boarding:

• full UV protection
• face-hugging frames
• secure strap system
• prescription lenses if required
• impact-resistant lenses
• impact-resistant frames
• polarized eye wear
• …. and the cool look you want!!!
• hard case for protection

Your local Optician will know best

You local optician can advice you. Most opticians have a full range of designer brands, with or without prescription lenses. From exquisitely fashionable sun wear to high tech stylish sports wear. most importantly  they offer high quality sunglasses with full UV protection to shield the eyes from harmful rays.

In summary, always wear protective eye wear when skiing and boarding, visit your optician, have an eye test before you  buy sunglasses.  Doing anything else could be costly or at least a waste of money.
