The Big Optometry Blog: Proving sunglasses aren’t just for the beach

Talking about the weather is a bit of a British obsession but this year we have been justified in going on about the climate.

Mid-February people were out in their gardens sunbathing but by last weekend March had lived up to its billing and come in like a lion. It just so happened that I had a weekend walking planned in Snowdonia with a member of my family. These days walking is a kit heavy business so I packed and headed for the hills. Being not only optimistic, but also the owner of quite a few sunglasses, I took a selection along just in case the sun came out while we were out climbing/ walking or generally being outdoorsy.
