I must admit I share sparkyhx's experience in this matter, I don't even own a pair of sunglasses. But I sympathise with people who do need to wear them outdoors in bright conditions.

really? you sympathise? There is no issue with wearing them ffs!

Of course there are issues with wearing them. First of all they have to be chosen and purchased, then they need to be kept in good condition and ready for use. One poster even has to wear them indoors because he has nowhere else to put them. Issues, certainly there are issues.

people who wear sunglasses full stop.

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.

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.

very true, but not really a problem with the light conditions experienced in this country. Anyway you are assuming people are wearing UV(A) and UV(B) resistant wraparound specs. Many are not and therefore increase the risk to the eyes as the natural defence (Iris) doesn't work when wearing sunglasses.

So I guess you choose not to use anti-biotics to combat infections as you have a well evolved immune system and you don't wash your hair as the natural greases protect it. The world is a wonderful place, full of technology that allows us live far longer, and in greater comfort, than would ever be possible with just our naturally evolved capabilities alone.

They also make it much easier to perv at women when you're at the beach

People who wear sunglasses in restaurants, in shops or indeed, anywhere indoors; I think KNOB!

My comment was not intended to imply any assumption about what kind of shades people were wearing, it was just to point out that evolution isn't really a process with a defined endpoint and that cataracts were a good example of that

Re: cheap sunglasses and increased risk - I agree with you entirely

people don't take antibiotics for fashion reasons - fine wear sunglasses for fashion - but don't try to justify cos its 'needed'. I don't see a difference between wearing them indoors than outdoors i.e. unnecessary except in exceptional circumstances. But ask most people why they wear them I bet very few of them will quote 'fashion'.

Wearing sunglasses depends on where you sit on the good-looks spectrum.

If you are a supermodel, you can wear sunnies 24-7 and still look cool.

If you are a fat old baldy, you can almost never wear sunnies because they look ridiculous.

I'm sure I'm about as cringe-worthingly unfashionable as you can get but I wear them for my own personal comfort as I'm sure many others do. If I wear them exclusively for fashion and with regard to perceived appearance, why would I be determined to wear them in my secluded garden without another soul for half a mile? I couldn't care less if they are deemed ridiculous or unnecessary by others.

Anyone else think OP really shouldn't Watch CSI: Miami, might tip him over the edge.

I've never really seen anyone wearing them indoors, but do find it funny when we get a semi-bright day in Scotland and half the motorway is filled with sunglass wearing knobs. We get almost two weeks of sun a year where the hell do they keep the glasses hidden for the other 50.

i feel stupid wearing sunglasses indoors in shops

issue is they are prescription and without them i can't see st.

I don't always have my normal glasses with me so i have no choice. As my sunglasses are ray bans people probably assume i'm one of those indoor sunglasses wearing tts.

Indeed. The times I've jumped out of the car and only realised my glasses are still on the dash and I'm still wearing my prescription sun glasses once I've entered a building and it's too far or have no time to go back.

Look like a dick but I'd look more stupid walking into things and people without them.

Case of lesser of two evils.

I'm in a restaurant now and I'm wearing sunglasses.

Was introduced to a young guy wearing sunglasses at an event last week, my exact words where, "Hi, how are you, John never mentioned that you where blind"

He went bright red, giggled a bit and took the glasses off.
