By now you should know the importance of protecting your eyes. Whether it’s a 90 degree beach day or a cloudy afternoon at the park, it’s imperative that the entire family protects their eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. And to remind us of this, The Vision Council started National Sunglasses Day- in hopes that folks will always remember to wear their shades regardless of how bright the sun feels. So, we thought it would be fun to partner up with Bronx staple Metro Optics to host a fun giveaway with a Bronx twist to encourage our readers to practice healthy eye care year round.
To celebrate National Sunglasses Day and raise awareness of the importance of wearing sunglasses with full UV protection whenever you’re outdoors, Metro Optics is giving away a pair of sunglasses of the winner’s choosing- retail value up to $299*. Readers can participate on both Instagram and Facebook. To enter, post a selfie or pic in your favorite Bronx park or outdoor venue while wearing your favorite sunglasses, and caption it with why you choose to protect your eyes this summer and include the hashtags #MetroOptics #Bronxmama and #NationalSunglassesDay and tag @metrooptics and @bronxmama_com on Instagram, or MetroOpticsEyewear and Bronxmama.com on Facebook. A random winner will be announced on National Sunglasses Day, June 27th. Be sure your photo is public in order to be entered into the contest!
