Hmmmm.... Blue eyed and very near sighted, both of which aggravate the
condition I've heard called sun alergy (the sneezing fit when you step out
of doors into bright sunlight!)

I wear the darkerst sunglasses I can find (over contacts) and AB is
definitely right in that they don't help <period!> I can put them on and
step outside and start sneezing my fool head off!

AB - I've noticed that a little with some laser light shows, but hadn't
really thought about it - the difference being day and night (literally).
