@@NortheastGamer There is no other one, I was just making a joke. Regarding UV, I would think that staring at the computer or telly screen for several hours would be worse than being outside on a sunny day for the same amount of time. There's no UV, but the blue light from screens has it's own detrimental effects. The good thing about UV is that it helps Vitamin D synthesis in our skin, and the red light coming from the Sun is also allegedly very good for us. I'm of the same mind with Lindy in not worrying at all about sunlight.

No it isn't and you just explained why it's not. Look, words don't have an inherently correct spelling or pronunciation. There's no source-code of the universe that states "This is the only correct way to spell für." What makes something correct is us. You and me and anything else that sends and receives information. It is specifically our usage of grammar that defines those grammars. It is not incorrect for me, as an English speaker speaking English to other English speakers, to transliterate Für Elise into Fur Elise because there isn't a single English speaker here who would not understand such a transliteration. tl;dr: Prescriptive grammar is silly. Linguists generally agree on this, it's only high-school English teachers that cling tightly to their backward ways.

Sunglasses reduce glare (especially polarized ones) and protect your extremely sensitive little seeing orbs from UV radiation. Grey lenses let your brain interpret colors most accurately, brown increases contrast (as does yellow), etc. If you get the right pair of sunglasses, it makes seeing bright things a whole lot less annoying (and harmful). Unless you like collecting reasons for developing cataracts (ie UV rays) and enjoy being stabbed in the brain with shards of pure white light (ie glare). Love, A fan of yours who is also an optician

I can't imagine UV radiation is very good for your eyes. And what if you're a Canadian (or live anywhere where there's snow) and it's winter? The sun reflecting off the snow is absolutely blinding. Moreover, it's important to note that there are people who have overly sensitive eyes, and perhaps sometimes a hat isn't enough to protect certain people's eyes. Also, they look cool. I don't get how you don't get sunglasses, and your point about wanting to "see the world for how it really is" is entirely subjective.

choronos Snow blindness is a real issue in Arctic or Alpine settings. Properly polarizing sunglasses or "snow googles (an eye covering with a very fine viewing slit in them) will protect against this. A form of this vision impairment can also happen on the water. Direct sunlight in desert regions will cause a loss of "detail" in vision as well. You could be looking at a "man sized" target 200 meters away and not see him. This is why the US Army has issued high end Oakley, Gargoyle, and RayBan sunglasses (among other brands) since the 80's. The best sunglasses are UV blocking with a very light tint (red or orange for contrast seem to work the best for most people); NOT dark grey lenses. Once you use a high end pair of sunglasses in an element where you really need them (Arctic Warfare School for me); you will never settle for a cheap pair again.

@@Xzeno98 I suspect that’s why eyes are usually brown. Myth busters did a test to see if wearing eyeblack under your eyes (like some sports players do) really does help reduce the amount of glare, and it totally worked. I’m guessing dark colored irises help reduce glare too. Blue and green eyes are not normal in adult animals-these evolved in the humans that left Africa and traveled north where the sunlight isn’t as intense; the ancestors of Europeans.

You are lucky to not be as light sensitive as I am. Even on an overcast day in the summer I need sunglasses or I will get an AWFUL headache. When driving at night I must have the sunscreen flipped down or I’ll get a bad headache from the streetlights... that’s how bad it is for me. Also the worst scenario is when it is too light for me to be without sunglasses AND too dark to wear them... I hate those days! I’m genuinely glad for you to be able to walk about without them, I wouldn’t cope without them.

Soooo... I agree with you in so many ways. However, I must wear shades when working outdoors for extended periods of time. People with light sensitivity such as myself get screaming migraines when exposed to high levels of light. I remember in school I was allowed to wear lightly tinted shades due to the florescent lights. However, as I get older I need them less and less, and I've noticed a new perspective towards life. This little video is more insightful than 99% of the content out there. It's 2020 and I've been binge watching your channel, my good man.

Lloyd your apparent dislike of sunglasses would probably equal my disdain for head wear so essentially sunglasses are the lesser of 2 evils in my opinion. Cheap sunglasses are worse than no sunglasses at all IMHO because they provide the shaded light causing the pupil to dilate and thus allow even more UV radiation to enter the eye, not all sunglasses provide protection from UVA and UVB.

polarized sunglasses with an orange filter are superb for driving, sailing, fishing and everything else where you get a lot of reflected/scattered light in your eyes. plus some people have their headache triggered by bright light so some might actually need them anyway.

A sunglasses rant from a man who's already fairly old, doesn't already need glasses, seems to have excessively dark shades instead of mild ones, and lives in the UK - an island with barely any sun and moderate sunlight when it does shine. Then picks anecdotal data of a man who likely would have forgotten the sights whether he wore the sunglasses or not, or at least had weird ones instead of normal ones as if that's comparable. You're a history buff. I wouldn't trust you for health advice when eye cancer and cataracts are on the line. Not the best of jokes this time.

See I thought it was Fur Elise I used to play the piece when I was younger I knew of the hereldic nature of the fleur-de-lis and the difference in the names But when trying to remember the name of the piece I wasn't sure of the spelling and the internet does have conflicting ideas on what the name of the piece was and for some reason when I tried to find it that's the name attributed to the song At the time it seemed wrong but as i wasn't sure I just thought I might have been mistaken in my memory Probably a good example of trust your memory and your gut over what you read in quick research

What a breath of fresh air - I thought I was the only one! In all my 58 years I have only worn sunglasses once for exactly the reason Lloyd describes. I cannot for the life of me imagine why i would want to obscure my vision artificially by plonking a piece of dark plastic in front of my face. I also hate it when trying to talk to someone else when they are wearing them - it automatically makes them look, for want of a better expression, 'shifty'. An appropriate hat works perfectly well.
