Beware of internet medical advice. Sunglasses help mitigate the growth of cataracts, and potential damage to the retina especially under bright conditions like the beach or on the water.
Imo it does make sense what he says, that wearing dark glasses fools the brain into thinking it is night time, and therefor it doesn't need to produce any proteins for protecting the skin against sunlight.
If that turns out to be true, it would be better to wear light glasses for keeping dirt out of your eyes, so that the sunlight can still reach your retina ...
Oh yeah I don't disagree at all. I've long surmised covering your light sensors has a negative effect - but the intensity of the modern sun and the fact that debris leads to eye infections, trumps not wearing them in my situation.
Sun block and lotion? Yeah screw that. Coconut oil before and after sun exposure works for me. If you keep your skin moist with oil, it really helps.
I remember early on, everyone equated oil to like cooking oil... but after getting lobster red on a cruise in my 20s and locals hooked me up with fresh pressed coconut oil, the relief and protection were immediately realized and the proof was literally in the pudding...
INteresting as I made a decision 2 years ago to wear my sunglasses less. Just felt better.

Exactly. If your family has a history of cataracts, I highly suggest sunglasses usage.
Sunglasses and sunscreen are both meant to keep us unhealthy. Cool, yes, but not healthy.
That’s why I wear them at night.

I wear them on the tractor and bike to keep shit out of my eyes...

Just think back to our ancestors living off the land 8n semi-permanent dwellings. None of them wore sunglasses for eons and eons
Hats
My light colored eyes can't function without them . And they look so cool
Wearing sunglasses regularly substantially diminished the frequency and number of tension headaches caused by eye strain for me.
And you looked cool
