Contact lenses may be a step up from glasses in the heat of the summer, but there are some times when they’re simply not convenient. Let’s face it: St. Louis is a hot, humid place to do May through August. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of sinking into a swimming pool or whirring down a shade-filled bike path while the world around us swelters in the sun.
