Wearing sunglasses can be more important than you think!

The sun is actually shining for me today, I hope it is for you as well!
Today is National Sunglasses Day which aims highlight the importance of wearing sunglasses. RNIB share their tips on how to protect your eyes from the sun after research has shown that people who do not wear sunglasses risk doing substantial damage to their eyes due to the harmful effects of the sun’s rays.
For most people, sunglasses are reserved for bright and sunny days. However, if you are sensitive to the light you may wear them more often. I have become incredibly sensitive to light as a result of loosing most of my sight over the last few years. As a result, I rarely would leave the house without wearing sunglasses and can wear them in the house on a particular bad day.
Why not share a picture of your sunglasses? How do you find your eyes manage on a sunny day? Let us know your thoughts below!

@Ails, I know what you mean! It has been when I have become sensitive to light that I now wear mine a lot!
@debbiedo49, my normal glasses also have this, sometimes they don't change quick enough haha.

The only problem I have is that is that they keep breaking! Wraparounds are almost all plastic and just don't take the frequent use well. I also seem to have a slightly wonky face (I guess most people do, its not noticeable until I wear glasses lol) so the glasses don't sit squarely which puts extra stress on one side of them. The best pair I had were a really cheap pair that cost £6 from sports direct, they had yellow mirror lenses which worked great and fitted really well, but eventually they snapped too and I haven't been able to find the same ones since!
@OverlyAnxious, I'm glad you have found something that works for you, although breaking all the time doesn't sound the best! I think I need to look into some wraparound ones...
