why do people wear sunglasses?
whats the reason?(apart from blocking out the sun) to hide? to show off? to look cool?

i find wearing glasses reduces agility and my field of vision...

if you wear sunglasses, for any reason other than blocking the sun please do post something, if you only wear it for blocking the sun, please do tell which brand is better than the other?

Re: why do people wear sunglasses?
Some people are more sensitive to light and can actually see better wearing them.

UV rays contribute to cateracts in many people especially those with very light colored eyess.

And because we want to. Any good brand blocks the harmful rays.
One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

Re: why do people wear sunglasses?
It is very weird but my eyes have become so sensitive to glare that when I put on a pair of sunglasses - even inside - I can see everything clearly. When I take them off it's all a blur. I only take them off inside because I know people think it's weird and I don't want to be hiding; I want them to see my eyes. But frankly I can't see a damn thing clearly when I take them off.

I have figured out that the sensitivity has something to do with staring at a computer monitor all day every day for years (I work on the computer). The white background was driving me crazy; my eyes were burning and watering. So I did two things. I made the background grey and I put on sunglasses too when I'm working! hahaha

Wrap around sunglasses help during snowfall and blowing snow if you don't have ski goggles handy. They also assist in seeing further through the airborne snow during these daytime conditions.

Re: why do people wear sunglasses?
It's hard for me to go outside on a sunny day without them. I'm also in construction and had an eye injury years ago, so they double as eye protection. I usually take them off when I talk to people, but I do worry about bursting into flames when I do.

Re: why do people wear sunglasses?
BTW I forgot to say that when I went to the eye doctor (the only time ever) she said to always wear sunglasses outside. She said I had "sun spots" [don't remember if that's the term] somewhere in my eyes from being out in the sun without sunglasses in the past.

Yep. Can't see outside w/out them. Used to be fine a few years ago. Something has changed, though, and the light really hurts my eyes.

Re: why do people wear sunglasses?
My eyes are sensitive to light because I'm not 100% human. Being a hybrid has it's advantages and disadvantages. My prescription glasses are called transitions, so that in sunlight they automatically darken. Plus they look really cool too.
Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!

I think Polaroid Is the best one can get for the reasonable amount of money they cost. Many expensive glasses don`t even have polarization.
