How to Choose Sunglasses and Ski Goggles

April 12, 2019 - Eye Health

Hey folks, it’s Dr. Sam. I received a question today: Can I offer any tips when purchasing sunglasses and goggles for skiing?

Recommendations for Sunglasses

  • Get either a brown or gray tint because these tints don’t distort the colors.
  • Add polarization
  • Add a mirror coating

Recommendations for Ski Goggles

If you use them in dim light, get either a yellow, orange or amber tint.

If you like to use them in bright light:

  • Consider photochromic lenses
  • Make sure your goggles fit well
  • Make sure that you have good access to peripheral vision

If you follow these tips you’re gonna get more out of your skiing and snowboarding. So I hope to see you on the slopes. Take care.
