Initially, sunglasses were only worn by wealthy men and women to protect their eyes from sun damage. Low-income people continue to blink in the bright sunshine as they work in the fields and on the streets, providing food and transportation for the rich.

Sunglasses are so common these days that even babies can have them and look really charming with them. Sunglasses have become a fashion accessory that few people can do without going out the door. There are ladies fashion glasses, sunglasses for athletes, and prescription sunglasses. 

You can find sunglasses everywhere; Beaches, state fairs, parking lots, and ski slopes are places where you can find people in sunglasses.

Sunglasses are important and here are some reasons.

In the water

Believe it or not, wearing sunglasses in water, whether boating, waterskiing, or fishing, has to be a requirement. The sun's glare from the water is not only harmful to the eyes, it can also be annoying when you are riding a boat at high speed or trying to determine the right distance to the nearest water ski jump. To keep the sunglasses on your body, you may need to wear a sunglasses chain that attaches to the grip of the sunglasses.

On the slopes

When winter arrives and snow addicts hit the slopes, sunglasses are one of the first things to add to their wardrobe. Attaching sunglasses to snow clothes can be tricky, but you can always use a large zipper as a place for emergency sunglasses.

Just like in water, sun glare on white snow can cause visual disturbances and even severe sunburn. Wearing sunglasses on the ski slopes during the day can help you see better and protect you from the ophthalmologist's office.
