Different strokes. My wife needs dark sunglasses to be comfortable in
the Sun. My daughter seems to have gotten my wife's eyes because she
won't go outside without Sunglasses. My eyes are comfortable without
sunglasses on all but the brightest Texas Summer days and even on
these I only need a slight tint. Since my sunglasses are perscription
I can get any tint I want.

Women care about UV rays, I'm sure. But the main reason (supposedly)
they wear sunglasses is to prevent squint lines from forming around
the eyes.

And indoors to hide the squint lines they already have.

You missed the whole point of dark, polarized, UV/blue blockers.
Dark lenses mean that when the sun goes down you can take off the shades and have a 10X improvement in vision, like light.
The polarized keeps the glare from cars down.
And most important if you plan on making 60+ years you won't get cataracts like my dad, the macho no sissy sunglasses type got at 65.
That's why old dogs have fogged out eyes, they don't even think about it.
My cats have gone 15 years with good eyes, maybe because they sleep during the day and stay out of the sun.
Just something for you to think about.
This post means nothing more than I am on (finally) Ubuntu Linux.
2 days to ge it to install all the junk I use and not mess up my windoze disks. The Windoze will kill themselves for me.
