A member asked:
Please explain what happens if someone with normal vision wears prescription sunglasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not reasonable: There are many reasons to wear sunglasses but no reason to wear prescription sunglasses unless there is a need for a prescription. Someone with normal vision does not need corrective lenses and the sunglasses such a person wears should be without correction (we call this plano).
