Am I the only one who hates wearing them? I'm sorry but I don't like the world looking all dark and murky.

alex2020 · 31st Jan 2012, 09:52 AM

Up until a few years ago, I used to despise wearing them. That was partly due to the fact that I couldn't see (I usually wear glasses and I didn't have contacts) and also because I didn't like to see everything shades darker than it really was. Then I got prescription sunglasses... and now I wear them all the time.

They're amazing, aren't they? I just got mine a few months ago, and I love 'em.

I don't like sunglasses. The huge bug eye sunglasses just look kind of creepy to me.

Chouchou · 31st Jan 2012, 11:11 AM

Unless there's a medical or other necessity, you don't have to wear them at all unless your eyes are going to be exposed to bright sunlight or bright sunlight reflected from snow.

Bradley · 31st Jan 2012, 06:29 PM

Have you ever worn rose coloured glasses? They make everything look so awesome!

I love wearing sunglasses, but I've never found a pair that looks good on me. I just wear my work-issued ones, then I have a good excuse for looking so funny.

I haven't ever worn a pair of sunglasses that looked good on me, which is really sad because I kinda need them when driving on the interstate (lack of trees = lack of shade). I guess I'll have to take someone with me to see which ones look nice.

Colton · 31st Jan 2012, 07:03 PM

I never look good in them

thecat06 · 31st Jan 2012, 08:29 PM

I hate wearing sunglasses, but I wear glasses normally already, so I would have to get the stupid looking ones.

Emberstone · 31st Jan 2012, 09:07 PM

I have to because the skin around my eyes do not have pigments because of my vitiligo. you have to keep the skin protected, as pigment helps protect against skin cancer.

Also, it all depends on the color of the glass. there are sunglasses that actually brighten color and contrast.

maverick · 31st Jan 2012, 09:13 PM

I don't leave home without 'em. Mirrored aviator glasses are my favorite.

The ones I'm wearing these days don't really darken anything, they just cut the glare.

duriru · 31st Jan 2012, 09:15 PM

I never wear sunglasses. I feel weird with them on.

I'm afraid i'll have to diagree with you, I love sunglasses, especially when driving

malachite · 1st Feb 2012, 04:59 PM

bright lights hurt my eyes so.......

Artemicion · 1st Feb 2012, 09:38 PM

Usually only when I'm driving, otherwise I usually wont wear them. But, depends on my mood that day as well.

solarcat · 2nd Feb 2012, 01:24 PM

I wear them all the time. Partly because my eyes are a little sensitive to light (maybe 'cause I wear sunglasses all the time), and partly because I'm a little self-conscious about my appearance (especially my eyes), so I'll wear sunglasses to hide my eyes the same way someone might wear a hat to hide a bald spot.

sugarcubeigloo · 2nd Feb 2012, 03:39 PM

A few years ago, I hated sunglasses. But then I started to drive and it became necessary. Soon, I started to wear them all the time. I also learned that dark/mirrored sunglasses let me look out at good looking men.

needshelp · 2nd Feb 2012, 07:33 PM

i wear glasses already so i'm good. not a sunglasses fan anyway.
