I would guess that none of the people who wear sunglasses indoor care what the affect on others is.
I'm totally confused - how does one person wearing sunglasses affect others? What difference does it make whether its indoors or outdoors? Are sunglasses considered antisocial / offensive?I wear them all the time in public, on trains, not 'in' restaurants generally but certainly when eating outside, I might raise/remove them if I'm having a close-up conversation with somebody and feel eye contact is desirable, but if I'm squinting then they go straight back on. It's a comfort thing - I must just have very sensitive eyes - perhaps its a self-perpetuating 'mole' effect!!

It's also bad for the eyes, it makes the muscles controlling the iris weak through lack of use.

You want to get those fancy transitions lenses. It'll never happen again.

And you can even get them in non peado lookalike frames these days...You want to get those fancy transitions lenses. It'll never happen again.

About 10 years ago my dad proclaimed that any man wearing those tinted spectacles looked like "a seedy pervert" and still to this day I find myself agreeing... I just can't help it.
There was a chap getting interviewed on local TV a week or so ago, and he was quite badly dressed and leaning against his 'ONE LIFE - LIVE IT' type Discovery whilst wearing some of those tinted specs and talking about how he took disabled children canoeing, and all I could think was that he was probably a child molester.
No doubt when I get to about 55 years old my optician will recommend some tinted specs to me...

Its taken millions of years for the human eye to adapt to bright sunlight.........suddenly it would apear as a species we can't cope.
the only time I felt the need was when walking home after a retina scan and the ey drop[s which open the iris.
Just because people suffered years ago before various things had been invented doesn't mean we should shun them now just to make a point.Its taken millions of years for the human eye to adapt to bright sunlight.........suddenly it would apear as a species we can't cope.

If it's too bright or sunny outside I find myself squinting uncomfortably. I put on my sunglasses and can stop squinting.
Should we stop wearing clothes as well even if it's -10c all day? Surely after millions of years of evolution they aren't necessary?

I'm bald so I usually wear a hat if it's sunny out which shades my eyes from most of the sun. The only time I've felt the need for glasses is when you want to perve on women and not get noticed doing so.Its taken millions of years for the human eye to adapt to bright sunlight.........suddenly it would apear as a species we can't cope.

I've never found it too bright to be comfortable except possibly on snow and water when abroad, and I suspect Desert may also be the same - however I've still never worn sunglasses and in the UK i've never come across sunlight strong enough even for snow/desert(sand)/water conditions to be a problem.

Do you mind if us ocularly challenged folk get on with the business of protecting our eyes from the glare of the nuclear fireball in the sky?
Can we sir, can we? Be much obliged if we could sir. Begging your pardon sir.

The human eye hasn't finished adapting to bright sunlight, and in fact it's the UV component of sunlight which is one of the biggest causes of cataracts. Its taken millions of years for the human eye to adapt to bright sunlight.........suddenly it would apear as a species we can't cope.

Anyway back on topic I do sometimes wear sunglasses indoors, but only because 'on my face' is often the most convenient place for them to be. I never feel as though they're safe on top of my head and I don't like carrying them, putting them in a pocket, tucking them in a t-shirt etc

Anyone wearing them on the back of their head should be dragged in to the street and shot in the eyes. I've only recently noticed people doing this but it makes me massively angry for no reason I'm able to articulate.arfur sleep said:

When it's sunny outside I wear my sunglasses. That's what they're for. I'm not going to walk around like it's the year 12BC because my eye's should adapt to bright sunlight. Why make life hard for myself?Its taken millions of years for the human eye to adapt to bright sunlight.........suddenly it would apear as a species we can't cope.
