Think sunglasses are just for summer? Think again! 😎

How much light is reflected (rough averages):

Fresh snow: ~80–90% ❄️ (brutal)

Dry sand: ~15–30% 🏜️

Water: ~5–10% (can spike when the sun is low) 🏖️

Why snow wins the glare Olympics 🏆

It’s bright everywhere: Snow reflects light in all directions, not just at one angle.

High UV reflection: Snow bounces UV rays straight into your eyes, increasing the risk of snow blindness.

Cold doesn’t feel dangerous: Your brain doesn’t associate snow with “sun damage,” so people underestimate it.

Altitude bonus: Snowy environments are often higher up, where UV radiation is stronger.

At Metayer Family Eye Care we can help you select a pair of sunglasses that will protect your precious eyes. We make prescription sunglasses as well!

A new calendar year often means new insurance coverage for many patients.

Please be sure to check with your insurance provider to confirm that routine eye exams are a covered service and to see whether you have benefits for materials such as glasses or contact lenses.

While we are contracted with many insurance plans, we are not in network with all of them. We kindly ask that you verify your insurance coverage and confirm that we are in network before your upcoming appointment.
