I will never understand this. I like to be able to see, when is it ever that sunny that you would want to diminish your vision and have something sitting on your face? The only reason I still wear them occasionally is for style and when I’m fishing the polarization can be helpful. But people wear them like they do watches, like they’re essential.

I wear them all the time outside and when I'm driving. Mine cost like 6 bucks, so I don't wear them as a fashion statement.
shareSame here. Mine cost $5. I don't spend much on them because they end up taking a lot of abuse. I've been a sunglasses wearer for many, many years. When I first got contact lenses (before gas permeable and soft lenses were available) my eye doctor told me contacts would make my eyes more sensitive to sunlight and bright light. I'm almost never without a pair when I leave the house. A bright winter day with snow on the ground is torture.
shareI don't see how people drive cars without sunglasses. I think they are essential in that sense.
