Agreed. There's science behind this too.
Your eyes are how your body detects light. If you wear glasses in the sun, you break the natural process of tanning. Your body thinks you're in the shade, and you are not. Then your skin does not respond to the sun as it should. That increases your risk of skin cancer.
I wear them only when absolutely necessary because of driving towards the sun or while doing surveillance person to person (you need to be able to look at people without them realizing you're doing it).
Hey brother! Good to hear from you! Yes, you are exactly right! People have been told a hell of o' lot of BS and sold a hell of o' lot more crap in the process. Check out those two Dr.'s I mentioned. I started with both of them over a year ago after white coat doc's passed me around like a free dessert at the local buffet and took all of my fiat $ I found them. These guys "cured" all my issues in less than a year and it's so simple. Very disciplined but sooooo simple.
Aren't UV-protected sunglasses a pretty important thing to protect against eye cancer though? You don't want more than about 20 minutes of unprotected sun exposure, at least during the peak 4 hours in the middle of the day (10am to 2pm here in northeast USA)
That's what you've been told, but I do not believe it is true. Do animals wear sun glasses? They don't get skin cancer. Humans wore sun glasses for how long in the past? It hasn't been long.
You're being sold something that is bad for you. Look into it beyond the first Google hits you get. The truth is out there.
The main reason I started wearing sunnies was so people didn't recognize me, and I wouldn't have to talk to them. trouble is now I need them everytime I go out into the sun which is a shame
Why do you need them for the sun? ;-)
Because my eyes got used to the shade, so now the sun is actually too bright for me
