Do you wear them? Sunglasses, shades, light adjusting eyeglasses, baseball caps, sun bonnets(
), or anything else to protect your eyes?
My eyes are sensitive to sunlight, and I sneeze immediately, unless I'm wearing sunglasses. My eyes used to automatically close from the glare of sun on snow, but that I no longer have to worry about.
I wear them whenever I go outdoors. They not only provide protection against the sun, but also make a fashion statement.
My grandchildren wear them, too, but their eyelashes hit the lenses.

I have sunglasses, but I mostly don't wear them! I can't stand having something on my face like that . . . I feel like I can't see with sunglasses . . . I will put up with the sun no matter how bright it is. Everyone thinks I'm nuts 
. But in recent years, I have found that wearing them makes me less recognizable . . . it's good to have when I'm trying to dodge certain people

You know for you it helps you against the sun, for me it helps me from girls passing that I am staring at them

I used to love them, but stopped wearing them a lot when I got prescription glasses

@Daelii Good thought - though I've never liked what they've offered in the way of prescription shades

I always intend to wear sunglasses, but manage to "lose them" rather quickly. I will get prescription sunglasses this year with my flexible spending. I might find that to be a better solution.

@DianneN yes especially when people have made silly remarks like "so you are a movie star" i just try and explain that bright light and sometimes much light at all makes me feel ill. only at times. and even the doctor has never explained what might cause that

I love sunglasses, it's one item I would spend some amount of money to get a good one, besides the protection it gives a certain kind of unexplainable mystique and aura.

I wear them if it is sunny at all and wear a hat of some kind each time I go out to protect against skin cancer since I have had a lot of pre-cancerous things frozen off my head and face thanks to growing up in Texas and southern California.
I am lucky to keep one around for more than a year, so don't buy expensive ones.

@DianneN I have actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous) removed by "freezing" them off.

I have two pairs of sunglasses, but seldom wear them. My eyes are sensitive to sunlight, also. It's high time, I put those sunglasses on, to protect my vision!

@kobesbuddy I have no choice, but to wear them. I do like that I don't need eye makeup in the wee hours of the morn! lol

@DianneN It's a vital practice, to wear those sunglasses, while you're outdoors:)

None of my family or friends sneeze or have a difficult time keeping their eyes open. I think we both must have some sensitivity to strong sunlight. Oh, I love those dark sunglasses! They are my saving grace on my early morning walks sans eye makeup. lol

I don´t wear them much at the moment no but I do like to have a pair around.
Very good against the strong sun even on winter days.

Yet we need the Sun like we need the Moon and at least no one can buy them even if they think that they can.
I shall get me another pair similar to what Jorge has got except a bit more stylish for me.
. The hot pink frames in the photo are lovely and I am sure yours are too.

@DianneN i like kids and even adults with long lashes. in fact, when i see one, i stare at him or her longer, and appreciate her lashes.
my lashes are not so long, but not so short too. it is just of medium length. but i cannot even put on a mascara.

I do not. Never was a fan of hats or visors.. sunglasses only as a kid.
