I hardly ever wear sunglasses. They are not comfortable in many ways. And I must see the world in real colors. especially cars.
Does anyone know if sunglasses ruin your eyes?....It would be nice to know. (in 10 years, some study will come out, saying they are like smoking)
Long ago, in high school, I saw these sunglasses worn by the eskimo...they were wood and horizontal slits...and they were awesome.

I did design for Oakley (made their longest running design 30 yrs ago).
I have to force myself to wear a hat in the sun. and I wear no jewelry, and rarely a watch.

...blue ones can damage your eyes...why? ..i don`t know just read an article recently but forgot why.
...yellow lenses don`t they even enhance sight under certain conditions...

moito...

never knew this!

short answer is: turns out blue lenses allow blue light in and thats bad for eyes......

And, does the color of your eye affect any of this. I’ve got blue eyes, was always told, in general, blue eyes are more sensitive to light. But I also don’t like wearing sunglasses for the reasons stated above, I feel it mutes all the colors and I’m not seeing the real deal.

I just did read blue eyed folks do have addtl issues re sensitivity

this is soo funny as I thought my schtick about s.glasses was mine alone..lol


Im glad I shared.

I wear them on and off, more of a pain in the b.tt honesty.
My eyes are blue as is my car.
Was terrible upset when I nicked my knuckle the other day and my blood was red.
2 out of 3 will do I guess

Yep.

Now what about Millennials and blue sunglass lenses?
Is a blank stare more susceptible to damage?

Possible minor retina damage but thats about it, after all there is very little to to interfere with behind the eyes on most.
