A member asked:
Can you suggest a means to get my eyes used to sunlight without sunglasses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not good idea: Sunglasses protect the eyes from the brightness of light and uv light. These are good protective measures and in bright light you can usually see better with sunglasses. Your eyes will not spontaneously get used to too much sunlight although a minor degree of tolerance may be experienced.
