Should you wear sunglasses even when it's overcast?

Clouds block some UV light but over 90% can still pass through. Overexposure to UV light is one of the leading causes of eye problems including cataracts and photokeratitis. We don't think twice about using sun cream on our skin. So why do we neglect to protect our eyes?

Sunglasses also protect your eyes from the elements i.e. wind drying out your eyes and skin. If you’re like us, you’ll be happy to finally have a reason to wear your designer sunglasses all year round. We recently conducted a poll on our Instagram account on how many people wear sunglasses in Autumn. A staggering 98% said they do!
