Winter sports enthusiasts often forget about the importance of sunglasses. When you are sailing down the mountain with the fresh cold air in your face, it is easy to forget that the sun is alive and well here too. Although the sun may not shine as brightly or produce as much heat as other times and places, the damage it causes can be the same or worse. The white of the snow reflects the harmful rays of the sun directly into your eyes if not properly protected by sunglasses.

Water sports are another occasion in which a dependable pair of sunglasses will save much hardship. While surfing, sailing or water skiing, you may be aware of the sun above you. However, what may not be as prevalent is the fact that the sun is reflecting off the water and straight into your eyes. Just as it does with snow, the sun wreaks havoc on eyes unprotected by sunglasses.

Other sports where special eyewear is sometimes essential include swimming, snorkelling and shooting.

Protecting your precious eyes from possible injury during sport – not to mention correcting your vision with the right eyewear – is a priority at Crilly & McGrath.

We specialise in providing eyewear for every sporting need.

There are many reasons to wear sunglasses, and everyone has one of their own. Whether it is to mask those tired eyes, create mystery or escape the paparazzi, sunglasses are a part of everyday life. However, often the true benefits of this popular accessory are lost when fashion or other purposes take over. It may not be your only reason, but your best reason for sunglasses should be to protect your eyes.

Summer time is the most dangerous season for your eyes. You are at least three times more likely to cause serious damage to your eyes in the summer than you are in the winter. This is because the sun produces three times more ultraviolet radiation in the form of UVA and UVB rays during the summer than any other season.

The sun is out in full force during the hot summer months, and most people like to spend their free time outside when they can. The light and heat of the midday summer sun is enough to leave anyone reaching for the sun protection cream. So if you are so protective of your skin, why wouldn’t you be equally concerned about your eyes? Summer is the most important time for sunglasses to be worn.

Having said that, winter sports enthusiasts should also be aware of the necessity of wearing sunglasses. (see Sports Eyewear).

While some people enjoy the fashion statement of eyeglasses, others prefer their appearance without them.

Contact lenses have proven to be a safe and effective vision correction device for millions of people. They are also ideal for participation in sport.

If you’re happy with your glasses, but want to be able to wear contacts once in a while, you could consider “dailies”. These are daily disposable lenses that you wear for one day and then throw away. They’re the ultimate in convenience.

Most people who require vision correction can wear contact lenses. We can determine if they are are a suitable option for you.

Despite recent innovations in vision correction surgery and contact lenses, eye glasses have remained popular. Frames with high profile designer tags continue to be in demand, and as well as being functional have become a fashion statement. Many people change their frames in the same way as shoes or handbags, with different colours and styles to match their outfits.

At Crilly & McGrath, we have a large range of frames to suit your personality, as well as your pocket. We have over 30 years of experience in advising our clients in choosing the right frames, taking into account face shape and colouring as well as lifestyle.

So, whether you’re a student, a business person, an active senior citizen, a busy mum or an athlete, we will help you to pick the right frames.
