Reply To: Sunglasses assur?

Just as an aside sam, there is no ocular condition known to medical science wherein it is dangerous to be without sunglasses on a short term basis. Sunglasses are worn primarily to decrease discomfort and squinting, and for cosmesis. There ARE certain situations where the regular use of uv or infrared blocking lenses (not necessarily sunglasses) is theoretically advisable to prevent the long term progression of certain chronic conditions. But to almost need eye surgery because someone was without sunglasses for a few hours or days is utterly ridiculous.
