- Learn why I ALWAYS wear sunglasses! Here is a list of ways sunglasses protect your eyes and vision that you didn’t know about! ***** Check out polarized sunglasses from Christopher Cloos here: bit.ly/3mEZ7wI
Sunglasses are not only a great fashion accessory and helpful for reducing light sensitivity (photophobia), but there are also many health benefits of sunglasses. That is exactly why I wear sunglasses.
Sunglasses SHOULD protect against ultraviolet light (UV light) and this helps prevent many different eye diseases and eyelid diseases from developing.
Timestamps for why you should wear sunglasses:
UV Light Protection (What is UV light) - 1:31
Sunlight Causes Cataracts - 2:22
Sunlight ages and thins your eyelids - 3:12
5-10% of skin cancer is on the eyelids - 3:42
Photokeratitis (snow blindness) - 4:02
Pterygium (Surfer's Eye) - 4:45
Corneal Healing from LASIK Eye Surgery - 5:16
Migraine headaches and photophobia - 6:13
Polarized vs non polarized sunglasses - 6:44
If you are not sure if your sunglasses protect against UV light, look for anything labeled UV400 or "full UV light protection" or contact the manufacturer.
This video was made in partnership with Christopher Cloos Eyewear. They are a Danish eyewear company with high quality products and good company values and would recommend them to all my friends and family. I only collaborate with companies I think will be of value to our viewers.

What was your favorite part of this video? Why do you wear sunglasses?
I bought sunglasses so I could cycle without the sun irritating my eyes. Also for going on long walks on sunny days when it's just too bright outside. I have prescription sunglasses (my precious) and non-prescription both with UV filters.
i like looking like brad pitt
I wear glasses that turned into black when exposed to heat is it safe Dr.?
@@noname-fj5dc You mean Chris Cloos brand? Or just the science of the video? Either way, I hope you feel you can trust me and the content on this channel, I go through a lot to make sure everything is medically accurate and we only work with products that I love and would recommend to all my friends and family.
@@pharmacistv I love that you called them "my precious"!!! I for sure have some of those too lol. Any favorite brands?
You left out one very important thing about sunglasses, doc --> they make the wearer look super cool! 😎
Good point!
I really thought that was going to be the last point. 👍🏽
Exactly 😎😁👍
no they dont. you are not going to look like Neo or James Bond, you'll just look like an edgy dork trying way too hard to
look badass
@@newt2120 Confidence is key. 🧠👈
At age 63 I still have 20/20 vision even though I have lived and played in some very harsh environments. From the snows of Alaska and Canada, to the ocean, to the desert southwest. Also, for the past 35 years I have lived at 7000 ft. and routinely am above 10,000 ft. I have always credited my continuing good eyesight to the fact that I have worn good, high end sunglasses all my adult life.
Money and genetics also play a part.
Almost my entire family tree wears glasses.
Also, no glasses in the world will save you if you do not avoid diabetes (this is more of a general advice, because of what I have seen in life up to this point).
May you always have 20/20 vision, it is underrated.
@@javviii basically any brand will do, you just need to make sure the frames fit ok and the lenses are UV-protected either by the material itself or by protective coatings. Also, good quality lenses should block the reflected UV light on the inner side of the lens. Mountaineer's type of glasses tend to have "blinders" on the sides of frames or the frames designed in a particular way in order to block the side light, that's also important. For some harsher light conditions like mountains or hills you may need cat 4 lens tint (however those are usually too dark for driving though).
Trivex and polycarbonate and indexes from 1.6 block UV innately. However, Trivex is considered better optical quality, however, if you don't need prescription glasses all types of lens material will be ok.
My eyes are pretty sensitive to light. I always have tinted windows and wore cheap sunglasses before all the time. 6 months ago I got some prescription sunglasses. They are polarized with all the coatings. AR, Blue blocking, anti scratch , everything they offered. When I put them on for the first time I almost started crying because the world looked to beautiful. I just felt like that was how life was meant to be seen. My eyes felt relaxed for the first time I could remember
yeah i was always cheap with sunglasses too. bought raybans and oakleys and what a difference. its worth the money and yes i know there is a monopoly on they eye glasses world.
@@jeffhermida4788 i use maui jims for the same reason
@@jeffhermida4788 ya.. me too bought many shitty to overpriced sunglasses.... good lences are worth it.
hey friends , do u think police, rayban, porsche design sun glasses worth ?
@@serdar-ors im not sure man
I am known as "the girl with the sunglasses"... I have always had sensitive eyes so I can always be found wearing sunglasses as long as the sun is up, rain, snow & shine. People tend to poke fun at me (esp. in the Winter) and I embrace it.
Well I think they are rather stylish and look awesome!
Same with me.
Celebrity status
Marissa try looking up sunning and palming. Wearing sunglasses all the time is like training your eyes to be sensitive to the sun. I only wear sunglasses if I have a headache driving or on very glarey days. I practice sunning and palming everyday. Doc if you read this I hope you've heard of sunning and palming.
I love glasses, I have 5 pairs and some people think it's strange. Grey and brown sunglasses, the transitions, and two pairs regular transparent glasses, an "official" and more of a casual one. I love them all and I think I could still use a couple more pairs, like I still need an all-around sports glasses. So I guess I am the glasses guy, too - and proud!
I was TERRIFIED about getting contacts but I definitely wanted to try them. I watched your video on contacts and it helped me tremendously!!! I'm currently wearing contacts and loving it!!!!
I use to have intense eyes that intimidated people but after months of wearing sunglasses I feel my eyes are more relaxed and I appear more friendly and approachable to people. Also preventing crows feet is another plus.
Too true!
I have the impression I look like that, but it has the opposite effect.
I wrinkley eyebrows even in the dark.
Hi there, I wear sunglasses pretty much all the time when I’m outdoors, even during the winter or in cloudy days. I was diagnosed with RP at age 12, and the eye doctor recommended getting specialized sunglasses. He said that it would help block the blue and ultraviolet light from causing more damage to my retina. I enjoy your informative videos. Keep up the good work.
My mother told me the opthalmologist told her that protecting the eyes from the sun was good to protect from pterygium
My eyes would've appreciated more if I started wearing sunglasses sooner. I've always dismissed the idea of getting prescription sunglasses for multiple [silly] reasons until I got a pair a couple of days ago and I couldn't be any happier.
I'm starting to appreciate the transition technology on my prescriptions more and more.
I love wearing sunglasses everytime i step out of our apartment and my SO makes fun of me (in a loving way) as well as family members so now im glad i know how to factually tell them to buggar off
I initially began to wear sunglasses because UV causes premature aging to the skin along with all the other things that UV does to skin. But now knowing the effects it has on the eye itself, I found this pretty informative and encouraging to keep wearing them.
That great! Thanks makes me happy to hear that!
I got my first ever pair of prescription sunglasses and omg what a life changer!
Definitely helps patients with astigmatism!
For the glare reasons?
I'm so glad I found your channel! You are so informative and make it interesting. I've learned so much from watching you and have made better choices concerning my eye health. Thank you!!!!
Omg that this comment made my day!!! Thank you so much!
Wow this is so useful! I'm 28 so hopefully it's not too late to start wearing sunglasses every day
I got lasik about 4 years ago, and went from nearly coke bottle glasses to 20-20. I did not think I would get 20-20 but the post exam a week later was a nice bit of news. My wife bought me a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators and I still have them. I only ever used cheap clip on sunglasses before and didn’t know that good sunglasses make a huge difference. Totally worth the money to protect your eyes especially when you spent a bunch to get ‘em fixed. This video did surprise me about wearing them even on cloudy days however, I will have to start doing that. Thanks
Brown tint lenses are especially good for cloudy days, not so dark as grey, good contrast and UV protective, too.
I always wear sunglasses, literally, even indoors and at night. My friends tease me about it but I'm keeping my eyes safe and looking cool while doing so. I didn't even know all this. I've just always worn sunglasses constantly because I love them so much. I love the way they look, the way I look wearing them. Some people wonder if everything looks too dark to me, but I see everything just fine (and I'm wearing them right now indoors, watching this on my phone four hours after the sun has set, I live in New Hampshire so the sun sets really early this time of year).
I wear sunglasses (polarized, of course) for both as a need to protect my eyes while riding my bike and/driving and as an accessory. I like the look.😎
What brand do you like for Biking??
@@DoctorEyeHealth I like DVX. I am an Optician and I'm very familiar with the brand. Thank you for asking!
I'm new in this world of eye's protection but i'm really impressed for all the information and him clear way to explain it. English is my second language, as well I love your videos, thank you
Hi Dr Allan I had cataract surgery and retina detachment and I live in d Caribbean on d island of Trinidad so I live in sunshine most of d time so wearing sunglasses is a must for me. I am really grateful for having sight restored and I can also be outdoors and enjoy d lovely beaches and beautiful sceneries we are blessed with so d sunglasses are wonderful for me. Thanks again be safe and Covid is crazy so be careful. Come visit smtimes d islands are really beautiful
Hey thanks for sharing! You have a wonderful attitude about your eyesight and everything! I’m so happy you are able to appreciate the beauty in the world!
Thanks Dr Allan and God bless you and yr channel for enhancing our knowledge about our eyes.
Yep! I can’t stop wearing my prescription ray bans! Think I spent a good amount of money on them since my prescription is so dang high. None the less I love them.
That’s awesome! Glad your loving your sunnies! I have one pair of Rx sunglasses and they are bomb, I just usually prefer contact lenses
Same here, after my lasik surgery got me 3 pairs of Rb now rocking them every day 😎
Wow, I better start wearing my prescription sunglasses. I noticed I’m developing a little of that surfers sunburn on the side of my eye, and was wondering what was going on. Thanks for your extremely informative video 👍
I was thinking if I need second sunglasses to keep in the car for cases when i forget my main ones, this video sire motivated me and vindicated me. Everyone pokes fun at me not being able to handle a regular summer day without sunglasses.
Love this video. I never step foot outside without my sun glasses. Ever. Even on cloudy/ overcast days. Even if I’m just running to get the Mail or going to my car to grab something.
I wear my regular prescription glasses any time I am outside. They have polycarbonate lenses which filter over 99% of both UVA ana UVB.
I haven't worn sunglasses since high school. I noticed that during the summer when I wore them my pupils were not as adaptive to varying levels of light, and this would cause headaches at times. Ditching the sunglasses took care of the problem.
I ordered a pair of Prescription Sunglasses in December. First time i’ve had sunglasses since i was a child. My eyes love them. I wear them all the time. Especially while driving.
Congrats doc on 350k
WOW thank you! Yes, I feel so incredibly blessed. I never thought the channel would get this big!
Most of the time, i Don't get irritant by the uv light but today after i just woke up i saw that light and i realised I'm starting my headache
And i have severe migraine from my childhood
This video was so helpful thank you man!
I borrowed a small Sunglasses from My Brother and I wear it when i Watch youtube and stream games on my PS and just 3 to 5 hours straight of wearing it LESSENS my Ete Strain like 70 Percent less.When i remove my sunglasses after 4 hours,I feel like i had a Eyesight Super Powers.😎.Thank you for this video.yesterday is which n i start wearingbsunglasses while in front of a TV Screen and I am loving the result already😊TY Doc,for this Video.🙌
Yep, the main reason I wear sunglasses is to prevent headaches...If I don't wear them, I get really bad one, almost migraines. Thank you for the info. I wasn't aware about the UV burning the eyes.
Great information in this video. I never wore sunglasses because I never understood the benefits. I found out last week that I have a cataract. The eye doc told me to start wearing sunglasses. I bought a cheap pair, but will check out the Christopher Cloos glasses. Thanks, Dr. Allen.
Hi doctor eye health im the kid that told you about my glasses and the superglue . I told my mom and she was pretty chill about it but she said i should have told her earlier instead of hiding it so long , but it was ok for the most part
Hey thanks for following up! Glad to hear things went ok!
I wear my prescription sunnies 90% of the time. Polarized lenses are the BIZ.
Another thing to note is that they stop you from squinting due to harsh daylight / bright lights indoors = faster development of wrinkles around the eye = faster aging.
And then umtimately you get to walk around looking cool AF ;D
Thank you kindly for sharing this video. Favorite was about cataracts. I now know the sun can play a part in them. I were prescription glasses that have tint in them all the time. No transitional but all the time dark because of migraines that now I don't get anymore. When I go outside I put a pair of sunglasses over the top of my prescription glasses. It helps me a lot. I'm fair skinned and have a freckle in my eye. Maybe wearing shades keeps it from popping stronger like the ones on my arms do if exposed to the sun. Hope you have a wonderful week. 🌷🌷
Hey thanks for sharing Linda! Yes, there is some evidence that exposure to some forms of high energy light can increase the risk of eye freckle growth.
I suffer from epilepsy seizures. What's the best advice for the eye doctor can give. I naturally get mine grains and headaches. The headaches and migrains I believe it's the seizures as well I'd give me it too. So I don't really know. When I got tested by a eye doctor. I wore my glasses for 6 months. My eyes never adjust to the glasses and eyesight was bad. What's the best recommendation u can give to someone who suffers from epilipsy and taking glasses.
Great video, I will start wearing sunglasses because eyes are my 2nd favorite organ!
Ok, that video got me subscribed :D
Thanks for subbing Galin!!!
Great info! I always wear sunglasses outdoors even on over cast days!!
Awesome!
Wear them outside all the time, rain or shine. I’ve even wore them in the house, (I have a ton of windows). The sun kinda hurts my eyes, the older I get.
The website for the glasses is a bit on the high side for my wallet, but....nice
I wonder if inflammation from dry eye may play a role in the sunlight sensitivity? And totally understandable about the price. But they are good quality and the brand has good values as a company. Good to hear from you Joan!
If the light indoors bothers you, other than seeing a doctor, you should see about getting window UV clings. I have them for my car and my home windows. They reduce glare and help prevent photodamge to you and your furniture/valuables.
I started wearing sunglasses because of facial skin cancer. I love my maui jims
I wear both sunglasses and ski goggles when XC skiing. I have even been so disgusted with bright headlights that I have put on my sunglasses while driving at night. (when the glare gets too much). But I just got cataract surgery and things are now much sharper. It does not appear that my eyes are any more light sensitive than before the surgery, so it was a success. I am hoping night
driving becomes easier with less glare from cataracts.
Revo Photochromic Polarized sunglasses is my #1 choice for day and night driving and outdoors!"
REVO is bomb! Gotta review those some time.
I wear sunglasses all day no matter sunny or not , ppl thinking I am weird
Same here.
Cheers.
You should make a video on BAK allergies because the past 2 times I’ve gone to the eye doctor, I’ve soaked my contacts in a standard eye wash with that preservative and then 20 minutes after putting my contacts in, my eyes turn bright red and sting/burn like crazy for a few hours and I’ve had to go to the ER both times. Also I see rainbows and halos each time it happens as well.
My ophthalmologist doesn’t know for sure what keeps happening, the only guess is a BAK allergy.
I wear sunglasses whenever I'm outside even when it's cloudy or winter because my eyes are so sensitive to any light. I keep my room dark during the day to and at night I turn on a shower light to see. I wear cheap aviators because they're all I can afford but they do good. I also require prescription glasses because of astigmatism and I also wear aviator style with those to. This video just made me want to wear sunglasses even more to be honest because I don't want cataracts in my eyes especially after my Gma had them and could barely see and the eye surgeon messed up one of her eyes.
Sunglasses squad is here
I always wear them, and now I feel justified ! Thank You. Love these videos.
I've read that the human retina is sensitive to UV light, but the UV light is filtered by the lens before it reaches the retina (and some people with a missing lens can see UV light). I'm guessing the fact that the lens effectively absorbs UV light in that way is what you mean when you say that UV light "cooks" the lens? It sounds like it is absorbing the energy of UV light.
It's a must living in South Texas for sun protection. Just ordered some SunGod Velans, can't wait to receive them!
I’ve lost it countless times & am losing it again. Honestly, my blind phases meant happier better everything.
Sunglasses help keep your peepers healthy (you only get one pair, so take care of them), not to mention you look good while doing so! 😎
Many contacts have uv protection too. But you still need sunglasses since the contacts only protect the lens
💯 absolutely!
Bought a pair of cheap $10 glasses from Walmart about a year ago and am finally getting around to looking for better ones! Any budget-friendly polarized 100% UV protection sunglasses brands you recommend? Love your channel! So glad I found it through your colored contacts videos!
Awesome information for safety of our eyes
Keep growing sir!
I have been wearing sunglasses most of my life.. my first reason was to stop migraines.. if I go out without sunglasses I will build up into migraine... second I only wear shield sunglasses that wrap around my eyes... no light coming into sides... which acts as a strobe and triggers migraines... Sunglasses have saved me in my life and yes they look cool too. 😎
Dr. Allen, you should do a glasses collection video. By the way, great video!
Not only to protect, but a very obvious 'show stopper' that people will ALWAYS notice when you are walking outside/indoors/etc. Eyes are so precious and we only got a pair. I have a slight damage i guess on my left eye but that was from playing basketball before when someone's finger touched my eye on accident. depending on one's budget and if they like fancy things, you can spend literally thousands if you like to collect more than a pair of sunglasses lol.. the price and brand of a sunglass does matter since the quality/clarity are not as good vs high end shades that cost a couple hundred or more.
If u like a design of a sunglasses. And u need glasses. Could the eye doctors glasses lens makers. Use a the shades frame but removing the lens to transition tested glasses. If u understanding what I am saying. I love wearing the iron/spiderman shades frame on my face. But I need tested glasses. Instead of buying a whole new frame. Can I use the sun glasses Edith glasses frame into transition normal glasses lens and not bad no darkers sun glasses.
I will give these glasses a look. Nice to have an option other than Luxottica, (Italian company that almost controls 100% of the market).
Closer to 80% but yes, in their defense they do make some decent products but yes, I enjoy unique brands myself.
It definitely help you with photo-aging around the eyes. I always wear sunglasses even when its overcast.
Can you do a video on how to repair scratched lenses and scratched coatings?
Some safety glasses have clear lenses that promise 99% filtering of rays. For people using construction tools outdoors. Wonder if they work?
What about the benefits of getting sunlight in the morning to prevent seasonal affective disorder and sleep problems? It is good to get SOME sun exposure?
Good point! I should do a video about lifestyle and benefits of sunlight.
Dont understand your all...informations so I am désappointed for that ...eyes are so important ! Tell you congratulations young doctor😀...from fwi
Great information, thank you! I always make an effort to wear sunglasses when I’m outside not only for UV protection but for eye protection in general. I’ve really developed a dislike for polarization on my lenses, however, due to interfering with reading electronic displays. I know there are some recent advances in polarization but in my own experience I think standard non polarized (but high quality) sunglass lenses work the best for me.
You are right! The polarized filters on electronics does get a little annoying.
My kingdom for cycling sunglasses that don't fog up!
hi like your videos just wona ask do we need prescription for sunglasses ?
Hi doctor hope you are well!
I’m medical glasses has uv light protection does that mean it works like normal sunglasses? Or do I wear sunglasses when I’m out instead of my medical once,thanks.
Thank you Dr. Allen! Me too, I ALWAYS wear sunglasses, they look great too. I LOVE your cool eye model, where can I get one please?
I imagine you may find them on Amazon otherwise there are optical or medical supplies stores and websites
Otherwise I got min as a gift when I graduated optometry school
You forgot to mention how fab You look with sunglasses on doctor 😁 which you do anyway even with or without. And those sunglasses look really cool on you.😎
Good stuff ! Thank you Doctor ! And Question, should we wear sunglasses when we reading on the computer monitor or watch TV？
Maybe if you are outside in the sun, otherwise no, it is not a good idea to wear them indoors unless your doctor recommends it, otherwise it can reduce your threshold for light sensitivity. Otherwise reading glasses or good quality blue blockers may help.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you Doctor ! got it
Please keep up the great videos !, can you do a video on lasik surgery and if its a good option or not to do it ?.
This video was great, but what does it mean if you buy a good branded pair of sunglasses with glass lenses, also 100% UV protected and polarised but they make your eyes hurt and sometimes cause headaches. But you’re fine when not wearing them?
Great video and wonderful information about wearing sunglasses 😎 👍
"You know who wears sunglasses indoors? Blind people and assholes. " (Larry David - Curb your Enthusiasm, HBO)
You look so cool in those sunglasses!
Haha thank you!
Doctor
Which is costlier a sunglasses frame or the glasses, how to choose ,what to ask to seller?
Great videos!! BTW, if you could do any material about Oscillopsia that would be fantastic! Its so hard to find ANY info about that the biggest struggle in my life.... :(
Polarized lenses can totally block the image on digital displays. I'm told pilots are not allowed to wear them because of this. They also can block, or cause color shifting, in simple car displays, and make passing vehicles actively shift glass colors on the road.
Not a panacea, unless you are fishing.
You are right about the displays!
Grateful for your channel. Is polarized glasses 100% UV protection? What is the best of the world? 100% UV protection glasses or polarized glasses?
Hey thank you! From what I understand, the polarized filter may not guarantee UV light protection.
What kind of sunglasses we should buy any suggestions... Should we buy polarized plz tell me
Yes!!!! Wear those shades! Transitions for everyone!!! ( if it was up to me lol!)❤👁✌
me too. ALWAYS
You always are on point! Great videos... thanks
Good info, thanks. Didi not know how much damage UV makes. Would you recommend 90% shaded correctional sunglasses? I am about to buy them for the first time in my life and do not know if it is best to have them as dark as possible or not, and if maybe a gradient is also something to think about. I will have them polarised as I have astigmatism and am quite sensitive to light.
I always wear my sunglasses outside. The main benefit I notice is the huge reduction in eye strain in the bright light. I even notice a reduction in overcast days as well.
I always wear wraparound sunglasses outside cloudy or sunny days
How important is it that they are shades (as opposed to colorless)? I live at a very high latitude with grey, dark winters. Plus, I'm an artist. I hate to lose light or colors when it's anything short of a blindingly bright, summertime day.
Thank you. Very helpful.
Anytime! Thanks for watching Michael!
Hello ! For me the best sunglasses are the Maui Jim. What do you think about them ? Thank you for your videos ;)
My eyeglasses prescription lens have uv protection (at least the optometrist told me so) is it necessary to buy a sun clip-on to protect my eyes?
If I'm going outside, sunglasses are almost always on my face.
You forgot to mention they also make you look cooler 😎
I worked in S Arabia and I noticed a lot of the older men had severe cataracts.
Our company supplied us with dark green glasses
what about infared? Does it cause migraines or eye damage
Hi Dr Allen, I have recently been diagnosed with Pigmentary Glaucoma and wonder if you have any videos on this subject. Or advice what to do...?
I am blind in one eye. I have a gray blob in the center of my good eye. My eye doctors can't figure out why. They say they see nothing wrong with my good eye that could cause this. Any thoughts? It's not an injury or burst blood vessel. My eye doctor cannot find any medical cause for the grey blob in the center of my vision.
Hi this is from Hawaii---- what brand of sunglasses do you recommend for a woman with glaucoma. I am part of your network,
Do transition lenses provide the same amount of protection as prescription sunglasses would?
I chose high quality polorized sunglasses to avoid cataract surgery specifically... and I'm hooked on em. Yes, my eyes are greatly relieved and I believe that the sunglasses arrested my condition, additionally I look cool, see better and I might even choose to wear them in the house... whoops!
@DOCTOR EYE HEALTH I love your eyeglasses. Which model are they.
