Shady sunglasses could be harmful

Consider what a pair of sunglasses is meant to do for you. They are designed to shield your eyes from the violent radiation of the sun and make it more comfortable for you to see. They are also for fashion purposes.

But while trying to protect your eyes from brightness of the street lights, and trying to look trendy, you may be doing yourself more harm than good.

Want to know more? It is ideal to highlight a few discoveries made on sunglasses addiction:

Your eyes get tired

Strange but it's the truth. When sunglasses are worn over and again, this leads to eye fatigue. This could occur when people wear sunglasses indoors and at dark places. Then, the environment becomes too dark for the eyes; therefore paving way for the eyes to be stressed. According to a research which an Ophthalmologist conducted, as reported by www.articlesnatch.com, the pupils dilate subconsciously if you are wear coloured sunglasses often. This may lead to vision degradation after a long period of time. However, the degradation process is relatively slow and early detection is impossible. Most wearers don't pay much attention to it and when care is not taken, it could turn disastrous.

Indentation of nose bridge

Wearing sunglasses for a long time may cause an indentation on the bridge of the nose especially for those who like to wear big sizes of sunglasses. This occurs when big lenses and frames make the sunglasses heavier than the regular prescription eyeglasses.

  Eyes defect

Eye specialists say wearing sunglasses for more than eight hours is very dangerous to the eyes. This addiction can lead to eye problems like glaucoma, colour blindness, night blindness and other eyes diseases. Dr Edward, an ophthalmologist, who operated eye clinics in New York for more than 20 years, observed that many of his patients with good vision often feel 'something went wrong with their eyes suddenly.' After careful check on these patients, he discovered that it was due to wearing too much of sunglasses. This, he said, became causes of some eye diseases.

 What if your head is dis-figured?

Research has shown that when you wear sunglasses at all times, it could change the shape of your head a bit and then it makes your eyeballs to pop out!

There could be a change in beauty. The fact remains that sunglasses addiction gives a particular look and when you are not wearing them, you look different and less beautiful.

Logistically, it can be dangerous to wear dark shades at night, particularly while driving. Why inhibit your vision more than the darkness of the night already does? Find another way to tell people you are cool.

According to www.allaboutsunglasses.com, some situations are acceptable times to wear sunglasses, but they still have rules. For example, the daytime is a perfectly good time to wear a pair of sunglasses. However, if those sunglasses are completely opaque or mirrored on the outside, reconsider for something that shows off your eyes a little.

Protect yourself from high intensity light with specialised eyewear designed for that particular activity and know when sunglasses are needed and when they are not.
