Eyeglasses
It's the middle of winter in many parts of the world, but just because it's below zero doesn't mean that you don't need a pair of sunglasses for bright sunny winter days and the glare from snow and ice. If you're active outdoors you might consider a pair of polarized sunglasses, which reduce glare, making them a popular choice for skiers, joggers and drivers. Polarized lenses have a special filter that blocks this type of intense reflected light, reducing glare.
