Same Sunglasses,
Different Reasons
Same Sunglasses,
Different Reasons
Everyone should be familiar with the primary reason
sunglasses are worn. Sunglasses protect your eyes from
the sun, warding off long term effects of the sun's
damage. However, what are some other reasons to wear
sunglasses. Everyone has their own reasons, aside from
the protection benefits, for wearing sunglasses.
Sunglasses, especially darker ones, help to create an
air of mystery surrounding their owners. It is often
difficult to carry on a conversation with a person wearing
opaque shades. This mysterious, often intimidating look
is a favorite for investigators, poker players, and
police officers. When someone cannot see your eyes,
it is difficult for them to tell what you are thinking.
Sunglasses are a fashion statement all their own. They
are often the first thing that a person sees when they
look at you. The shades you wear make a statement about
you, so choose wisely. The sunglasses you pick out could
mean the difference between telling the world that you
are a fashion force to be reckoned with, or someone
whose mom still picks out his clothes.
On a more somber note is a situation most of us ourselves
in. Sooner or later, everyone loses someone in their
life and there is a funeral to attend. Vanity should
not be your first priority in this case, but there are
certain measures you can take to help grieve with a
little dignity. A carefully selected, tasteful pair
of dark sunglasses will help mask the red and puffy
eyes you may experience while crying. Remember when
deciding which pair to wear for this particular occasion
that elegance and taste are extremely important.
Whether it is allergy season or you pulled an all-nighter
studying for finals, you don't have to cry to achieve
the red, puffy-eyed look. Let's face it, everyone has
stayed out a little too late the night before and awakened
the next morning to see Frankenstein starring back at
them in the mirror. Sunglasses come in handy for these
reasons as well. They may be a telltale sign of a one-too-many
night if you wear them in the office, so this would
not be recommended. However, the sudden sensitivity
to light you may feel when you step into the day for
the first time can be cushioned with a good pair of
sunglasses.
Athletes often find themselves playing their particular
sport outside on a hot, sunny day. Unfortunately, there
are no allowances in the rules for a baseball player
that misses a fly ball because the sun blinded him.
To help with athletic performance, certain sunglasses
are made specifically for athletes. An aerodynamic design
and wraparound shape hug the face and ensure the player
sees every ball coming his way. The important detail
for these sunglasses is size. They have to fit perfectly;
otherwise they'll fall off while running, if too big,
or cut off circulation in your face if they're too small.
One use for sunglasses has only recently been discovered.
The next time you are flying overseas and want to avoid
the taxing effects of jet lag, try putting a pair of
sunglasses. Scientists have recently discovered that
sunglasses help fool the body through the use of light.
Your biological clock (which-as it turns out-is a real
thing) consists of about 20,000 nerve cells that respond
differently to light and dark. By wearing sunglasses
for certain amounts of time during a long trip, you
can lessen the effects of jet lag.
You see that there are many reasons to wear sunglasses.
These reasons should not, however, overshadow the primary
benefit. Sunglasses are protection for your eyes. They
will help ensure you keep seeing the world the way it
was intended. That is the best reason of all to pick
up a pair today.
