As many of you know, I live in the sunny state of California, in the city of San Diego, where sunglasses are pretty much a necessity every where you go every day. As I contact new sunglasses wholesalers, I can’t believe it when they tell me that the sunglasses season is over. Snow boarders, skiers, and drivers all need sunglasses. Unless you’re living in Alaska or in Antarctica, the sun still shines every day. With that said, I asked long time customer and friend, Kirk Bacholder from http://www.ctswholesalesunglasses.com what he thought about sunglasses being sold all season long, and here is what he had to say.

The questions was: How sunglasses can be used year-round for protection from the sun?

In the 18th century sunglasses were merely used to correct vision impairment, unlike today, where we use them to block harmful UVA/UVB rays. The first sunglasses were imported from Italy to China in the 1430’s where a tint was noticed on the lens.

It wasn’t until the 18th century when people started experimenting with sunglasses. Up until the 20th century the experimentation of sunglasses led to the realization of the use of sunglasses to help protect our eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. The first pair of “fashion” sunglasses was sold in 1930 on the boardwalk in New Jersey’s Atlantic City; a trend has started. In 1960, sunglasses evolved into many different, unique and fashionable styles with one major purpose, protection from the sun. Sunglasses today are used in a variety of different applications from work, school and recreation. Sunglasses also come in a variety of shapes, styles and colors suited to each one’s particular needs.

So one may ask, how could you use sunglasses year-round for protection from the sun? The answer to this depends on what line of work you’re in and/or what you like to do for recreation. Weather you’re retired or work full time, there is always a pair of sunglasses that will suit your needs anytime of the day and year. Sunglasses come in a variety of styles and tints suited to best fit your needs. For example, if you work outside driving a combine through the field in the summer you may need a pair of sunglasses that have a dark tint to it. On the same note, if you drive a combine at night you may need the same pair with a yellow tint; which brightens up everything around you and keeps the glare out of your eyes from oncoming light. Sunglasses can be used throughout the year in variety of weather and season conditions, even during rainy and overcast days. Harmful UVA/UVB radiation can still penetrate the skin, even during overcast and rainy days, which has been a misconception by many. In the dead of winter sunglasses may be used no only to help protect the eyes from the sun, but help keep your eyes from frost bite; especially while riding snowmobiles. Many Nascar, Indy Car, Superbike and other world renowned drivers/riders use sunglasses in the form of a visor on their helmets to keep the glare out of their eyes caused by the sun. Poker players use sunglasses year-round to keep their facial expressions to themselves in the event of a possible bluff.

Weather you like to go golfing or love race cars, there will always be a pair of sunglasses that will suit your needs; day or night. Sunglasses have become apart of our daily lives and used to help people in a variety of ways. So the next time you’re in a store with sunglasses, ask yourself how you could incorporate sunglasses into your daily routine.

Thanks Kirk.
