Goodness, I never owned sunglasses until I was an adult. I must be blind by now!

Having been to England a few times, I can honestly say it’s the last place I would worry about excess solar radiation.

[cripplecreek]

Wonder who these “experts” work for?

[G Larry]

Do you know anyone born before 1960 who wore sunglasses before college?

[taillightchaser]

OMG I’ll bet they’re eating big macs too. I’ll even bet some of those criminal parents are letting their kids ride in the back of pick ups too.

“Nearly a third of parents in Britain do not buy their children sunglasses, a poll of 2,000 people for the College of Optometrists revealed. “

Western civilization truly is doomed with pansies like this in charge.

The College recommends choosing dark glasses with a CE mark for quality.

Sounds like a bully magnet to me...

Helen Keller and Ray Charles wore sun glasses....

My son used to have sunglasses when he was little. They were cute. When he got older, he settled for a visor. That's usually good enough, although there are times I tell him he might want them for the morning car ride, but he usually just goes back to sleep instead.

I think there's a connection with fair skin and sensitivity to bright sunlight. At least, that explains him and me.

We got a complaint about this years ago from a certain ClassyGreenEyedBlonde!

Three in four parents are risking their child's eyesight by exposing them to bright sun without appropriate protection, experts warn.

Give all the little cretins one of these:

Most of their parents have been wearing them for years to avoid having to do anything about Islam taking over their country.

I have been wearing sunglasses religiously ever since the link between UV light exposure and cataracts was made years ago. The females in my family have been prone to getting cataracts and I’m trying not to follow the tradition!

[Monterrosa-24]

Squint !!! I don’t give my children sunglasses on typical sunny outdoor excursion but I might if they were going to be over water, sand, snow, or other sun multiplier.

My eyes stayed perfect to age 42 and now at 54 I only need readers. I never wore sunglasses except for driving and working as a lifeguard. As a lifeguard the motivation was for more coy scanning of female forms.

The bbc must be joking. The last time the sun shone here in Scotland, people ran screaming in panic because they didn’t know what it was. Although some still speak of it, that was long ago and that day is a great mysterious legend now.

Everyone knows the sun doesn’t come out in England.
