[Freya]

[Aerith's Knight]

I can't even do a lip curl.

I wear $10 aviators by choice.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I wear $10 wayfarer's by choice. It worked out well, too; I dropped them the other day and scratched the frames.

Mine were $20, still easily replaceable though. Somehow I feel you would wear them better though

[theundeadhero]

I'll post pics of them. Eventually.

if your sunglasses are not made to block UV, then they are going to actually cause more damage to your eyes.

Thanks dude

How so?

Mine are UV400 or whatever, according to the ebay listing.

Sunglasses are made so less light in general goes through them. Your eyes will react by enlarging the pupils so they can take in as much of the limited light as they can. However if the sunglasses are not able to absorb UV light as well as visible light then the same amount of UV that would normally get to the eye still gets there, but now it has a larger area where it can hit. Prolong exposure will result in damage to the eye.

The more dangerous UV light doesn't pass through glass. That's why you don't tan easily through glass windows. Glass filters about 97%.

And this point is moot anyway, seeing as nearly every sunglasses available has UV protection nowadays, no matter how much it helps.

qwerty just instilled a lot of (probably irrational) fear in me. I'm never going outside again without my eyes closed.

[Madame Adequate]

I don't go outside without a HAZMAT suit on anyway so I'm safe.

Kaycee, I really like your shirt! Lovely colors

Big sunglasses help reduce the wrinkles around your eyes (crows feet) because you don't squint in the sun! I love wearing my sunglasses. I'm not sure if they have UV protection or not though.
