The guy in the corner really added a lot of value. Honestly, doc...you couldn't even be bothered to briefly explain what happened and whether this could be resolved? Take a look at the Bentist's shorts. He's doing medical shorts the right way.
Pinguecula and ptergium are caused by uv exposure and also windy or sandy environments. The reason why these sunglasses are no good is that they do not block 100% UV. This is why a hat and sunglasses that block 100% of UV light are important.
a thrift store in my hood that ws open b4 pandemic got all costco retuns tons of mui jim glasses and the people who sorted them put any and all glasses in one case for 1dollar needles to say i had 8pairs at one time now down to 4 left life was amazing b4 covid on many leves that store closed during covid
Same. Still have my Ho'p Kip'a or however it's spelled. 15 years. They may not be as effective as they were new. Might be time for a new pair if I have the $$.
Polarized sunglasses are the best. They have layered laminate through the lens for extra protection where other fashion sunglasses just have a UV coat that is gone usually in about 6 months. I was an Optical lab manager for years.
@@famousnightmare3229I looked up Knockaround sunglasses.fpr you. They seem legit. 99-100 UV protection and it is not supposed to fade fast. You should be good.
I wear solar shades, opthmologist they're the beat glasses amd im.smart for wearingnthem at a young age. Problem is most someglasses dont block light from coming into thebeyes from top , bottom amd on the sides only straight at the face whoch is not ffective
Folks are so busy trying to justify those huge balances they're carrying over every month. Expensive doesn't mean better. A pair of dollar store glasses every week is still less expensive thn name brand glasses yet offer the same 100% uv protection
2 things...1. There are very few sunglasses made in America. The majority of brand's lenses are made by Italy's Luxottica. 2. All polycarbonate, regardless of color or quality, will block UV rays. The tint is what blocks the visible light only.
They still have to be made to meet American Sales standard to be sold here though so it doesn't matter actually where they're made it matters where they're made to go because I guarantee you the sunglasses the company makes for other countries is a hell of a lot cheaper than the ones they make for America
Worked at lens crafters for 16 years. I can confirm that Luxottica's lenses are safe for the sun. Polycarb is the only lens I suggested for people who wear their glasses most of the day. and RX sunglasses are worth it. They even have a UV tester in most locations so you can see the amount of UV light going through. Legit eyewear stores will sell quality, safe sun wear.
I'm glad someone else knew this.... people think that sunglasses are made from all different kinds of companies... Nope, the large majority of expensive and cheap glasses are all made in the same damn warehouse lol smh
@Dex11421 Complete nonsense, they make the sunglasses to comply with worldwide legislation. They find the highest standard worldwide and build to that standard. It costs Luxottica a few euro (as it is an Italian company) to make the sunglasses.They ate not going to change the lens composition to save a few cents, as it will cost more to stop production and switch chemicals. Luxottica own most of the brands and sunglass retail outlets. That is why they can sell cheaply made sunglasses for silly money. Eg,
Also, commonly known as Surfer's eye. Grew up at the beach without wearing sunglasses. Parents didnt know of this problem. 😔 Although harmless can cause dryness and irritatation. Eye doctor said it can be removed.
Wait I’m confused. Does this mean every tribe in Africa has this condition? Cause I know majority of them arnt covering their eyes when on the move, daily.
In the 80’s, almost no sunglasses sold here in Australia had UV protection (Unless you spent a fortune at an optometrist.) as it wasn’t a thing yet. Then they realised what the UV rays were doing, and that wearing sunglasses made your pupils open more, letting more UV in than if you went without sunglasses. So now, it is in the Standards all sunglasses must be a certain UV protection factor, and all us 80’s kids are waiting to see if we are going to develop early cataracts or go blind.
57 years young so yeah I was around in the 80’s with no sunglasses. Although not in Australia. I still only occasionally wear them. I don’t think we’re at risk for cataracts anymore than anyone else. Well unless you’re pre diabetic or diabetic and blindness I wouldn’t even bother thinking about.
@@dontfit6380This isn’t something you would have been in danger of. They made your pupils open in sunlight without the uv protection…you have to wear them everyday for years.
I had that for years on one of my eyes. Then one day I noticed it disappeared. Last time I went to gave my eyes checked, the doctor was surprised that at my age I had no sun damage. I started really wearing sunglasses on my late 20’s and now I’m in my early 60’s.
I had one in my eye too. I was an alcoholic back then ( 11yrs sober now) and my eye Dr said it was from drinking. I sun gaze all the time and my eyes are fine.
It's not really a sunglasses problem. It's more an effect of the sun on the eyes. So if you have cheap glasses then they probably don't give sufficient protection. But that's kinda the same effect as going without sunglasses
Exactly... that's why it's a problem with the sunglasses. If you go out into the sun believing that you have protection from the sun but your sunglasses don't actually provide any protection, that's a problem with the sunglasses.
Isn't this cause by the eyes being bloodshot and then healing? I get this and I don't go out in the sun. I get it after having bloodshot eyes from looking at a computer screen
It Is worse though. Your iris closes into smaller shape to not let as much light in, when without sunglasses. With sunglasses that are bad more uv light gets into the eye cuz the eye has the iris more open cuz your brain only thinks it's not as bright when in actuality it is.
Been wearing cheap sunglasses for years and have the same issue. Was always concerning when it got more noticable and over the years my eyes seem to get dried out easily. Really nice to know this now is most likely my problem
I've been wearing shaded Nemesis safety glasses for about the last 20 years and nothing. I've had some more expensive ones but I always come back to these because I don't care if they get scratched up or lost on a fishing trip.
I get a headache from the nemesis, but I can comfortably wear the weldmark. Pretty much the samr thing, but I believe their is a difference in how the lenses are finished.
As a person that worked as an Ophthalmologist assistant in clinic, these are called Pinguecula. They are a result of irritation of the conjunctiva of the eyes caused by sun exposure, wind and dust. Though harmless, they can cause eye dryness and irritation and generally not aesthetically pleasing. When your eyes are continually aggressively exposed with no protection , the Pinguecula can grow into the direction of the pupil of the eye to be what’s called a Pterygium aka Surfer’s Eye. The symptoms of Pinguecula are more aggravated in this case and this can only be removed in surgery but there’s a chance it will grow back. If there’s something I learnt working there is wear proper sun protection when outdoors. Before that I had constant eye dryness and irritation and I was starting to develop these. Now they’re less red and less noticeable.
People in the olden days never had sunglasses and never had these problems. Now why don't you share how you guys scam people into believing they need to upgrade their glasses every six months.
Hmmm .. I sure would like to copy and paste this comment response to a friend who is vulnerable to eye problems...and just took an outdoor job as a flagger to control traffic around heavy construction.
@@tabithaerickson5767 First, note. Fake sunglasses could do more damage letting in UV rays than going without sunglasses. Second, branded sunglasses will offer best protection. Check for the label that indicates UVA 400 or 100% protection against UVA and UVB. You can also get protective lens fitted onto frames at an optometrist, prescription sunglasses are a plus if you have some vision adjustments needed. You can also test your sunglasses using a UV light in a dark room. If they give off a bluish purple light or block the light they’re good to go.
Maui Jim, Oakley and Ray Ban all have superior lenses. Although pricey are definitely worth it. Polarized lenses are the a plus for enhanced color and anti glare.
Cheap sunglasses can offer really good protection. I took a couple of 3 dollar sunglasses to my optometrist, he put them into a machine and measured the protection scale and it was 400 for both. So it is not about cheap or expensive.
These pinguecula’s were described to me by my ophthalmologist as permanent calluses on the whites of the eyes. They can be irritated by the wind, dry/ sandy wind, the reflection from asphalt and the reflection off of the open water … also the dry eye condition named blepharitis can irritate it .. there is a good steroids drop called alerex that makes the callus flat again stopping the irritation .
Good sunglasses have polycarbonate lenses. Polycarbonate Intrinsically blocks almost all UV with a fairly sharp cutoff at ~400nm. For cheaper sunglasses, the lenses are likely acrylic which lets UVA through. Also worth noting, reputable brand safety glasses are made of polycarbonate, don't cost much, are designed to cover your entire eyes, can come in sleek tinted varieties, and are not hard to find with UV ratings. So hint hint nudge nudge if you're on a budget.
I've never worn sunglasses, I'm 45yo and I'm outside 90% of the summer either fishing, camping, road tripping, disc golfing and I've never had discoloration of my sclera.
I’ve had those yellow bubbles on both the insides and outside corners of my eyes for years and my optician told me not to go out in the sun without sunglasses again but didn’t explain that the quality matters. Thankfully 3yrs later the ones on the outer corners have disappeared so I hope with time they’ll all go. Good to know the quality of the glasses matter.
Damn so your telling me the 3 pairs of $750 glasses that i dint wear bc i don’t wanna mess them up are better in quality then the $10 ones that o have maybe at-least 75 pairs ?
@@daciasdiy1861who tf pays that much for eyeglasses? Sunglasses don’t have to cost that much money!!! If you have money to blow like that, consider paying less for a good pair and donating the rest to people in need…
@@daciasdiy1861I'd aim for a middle ground there if I was you lol get some $100 pairs from a reputable brand and wear TF out of em. If they only last you a year that's still only 25cents a day to protect your eyes. (I say while my main sunglasses are some $10-20 Walgreens sunglasses that I shoplifted while drunk)
You should ask your optometrist why they never mentioned this to you. If your optometrist isn't aware that sunglasses matter, they may never know unless someone tells them.
I used to work as a optician. This is so true. I only wear high quality sunglasses. Now that I’m not in the field, I still save up for them bc it’s that important. Your eyes/vision isn’t anything to mess with.
I have this yellowing in my eyes but was told by my MD that it was fat deposits. I've also been wearing dollar tree sunglasses for the last 15 years. My vision is certainly getting worse, however even tho I'm only 40 I thought it was due to age. I'm getting floaters n have a hard time seeing at night and my vision gets blurry when I stand up. 100 years ago ppl didn't have sunglasses but they had healthy eyes, so I'm so confused😂
4th year optometry student here. Shes referring to pingueculas. They are the conjunctival tissue getting too much UV radiation. Uv blocking sunglasses should fix this but i say never cheap out on sunglasses. They are very valuable, especially if youre pale like her. I personally love maui jim but you can get good stuff way cheaper. Keep your eyes safe folks Edit: there are surgeries to fix this but they have a high recurrence rate. New procedures are promising though
So I have noticed that a couple of pair of cheap sunglasses that I bought that said that they're 100% polarized UV protection we're not at all polarized and there's a way you can test this you take two pairs of sunglasses and you hold the winds in front of each other and you rotate one of the lenses 90° and if the lens does not get darker to the point where you can no longer see through it as you rotate it then it's not really polarized and it will not protect your eyes and there are lots of sunglasses that do not do this so that means they're not polarized and they will not protect your eyes from the UV rays
Bet its pterygium. Pterygium is a raised, fleshy, triangular-shaped growth on your eye's conjunctive. Long-term exposure to UV light is the main cause. Your eyes may be red, swollen and irritated in mild cases. If pterygium grows, your vision may be blocked or blurred. Make sure you're sunglasses are polarized and also wear a hat when out in the sun. I have a lot of surfer and lifeguard friends in Hawaii that also have this eye condition. It can be cut out but it usually grows back if you keep on having sun exposure.
They are pingueculas. Pterygium grow closer to the junction of the sclera (white part) and the colored part of the eye and yes...can progress into the corneal structure. Pinguecula stay put on the white part but can definitely grow bigger and cause irritation.
I have this from being swept out to sea as a 14 year old and having the hike back to safety after i washed up into cliffs... all day in the burning sun next to the ocean and on the ocean... literally sunburnt on my eyeballs. But thankful to be alive
Home made saline solution kosher salt Himalayan mix wix purified or distilled water. Use spoon to taste so you don't contaminate the mixture. It should tast salt but not too salty if it is just add more of the same water. Wash eye out 2-3 times daily until you see clearing of the eye.💪🏼
Ok.... I don't wear them or sunscreen because.... I'm fine. All these people with so many problems have "always used protection," .... It confuses me. I just pay attention to patterns, and try to pretty much steer clear of anything that becomes popular, try to do a much as possible the way my grey grandparents did.
As a florida girl....i can honestly tell you ....ive never worn sunglasses and never had yellow dots in my eyes 😅 The glasses bother me more than the sun.
That may be because Florida is humid. But you will develop cataracts and skin cancer. I am from Louisiana and had both. You can buy clear lenses with UV protective coating. Also if you wear prescription glasses you can get clear with UV protection. My glasses magnified the sun and caused the cancer to develop on my cheek because I didn’t get the UV blocker.
Same here, I grew up in south Florida and I now live in Hawaii and I almost never wear sunglasses. I only wear them when I’m fishing if I want to be able to see what’s below the water surface to take the glare off they’re also good driving in the rain for the glare. I think sunglasses are bad for you as is sunscreen. I don’t use either and I’ve always lived in Sunny hot places and I don’t have any weird stuff growing on my eyeballs either or my skin and I’m over 50.
@@tamsintarshish3905 I wear sun screen so I think I'm good in the skin cancer department...and idk about cataracts...I've never heard anything about the sun causing those. But I'll look into it more. Thanks for sharing and spreading awareness!!
I SPEND MORE TIME OUTSIDE THAN 90% OF MODERN PEOPLE AND ONE THING I DONT CHEAP OUT ON IS VISION PROTECTION. ROKA, COSTA, OAKLEY, ETC..IVE GOT PAIRS MEANT FOR WORK AND PAIRS FOR NON WORK..AND REMEMBER YOU USUALLY CAN ORDER NEW LENSES FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR SEND THEM BACK TO BE REFURBKSHED OR REPLACED WHENEVER YOU SPEND A LITTLE MORE FOR SOME DECENT POLARIZED SUNGLASSES.
I can only stand to wear polarized sunglasses. Any others (probably cheap ones) give me headaches. Now I know why. This really should be talked about more.
Bs, listen bud I'm in retail and have ordered from huge companies and sold the best and worst sunglasses that are manufactured.... we don't have a lot of manufacturing plants for sunglasses and then same company that makes most of the best brands also makes 40% of the cheapest ones.... normally the difference is material used on frames as uv protection is mass produced and very cheap after making it for a extended amount of time. There is one China based company that sells on temu(sp) and I recommend you never shop on temu(sp) as everything I see seems to be as fake and cheap as possible
I wear sunglasses when no one else is...when it's raining...when it's overcast...late in the day...I always think people are probably looking at me like there's something wrong with me but my eyes are sensitive and if I'm squinting at all my eyes hurt and I end up with a headache...I can see pretty well in the dark though 🤷🏻♀️
I have the same problem. 😅 I had mine on at 8pm last night (BST). The looks I get when it raining sometimes 😅 Even driving at night with the oncoming headlights is bad too - even before these awful halogen headlights existed.
@tamster2k I don't...I have dark brown eyes...idk what the deal is but it's awful...if I go out into the sun as soon as I wake up or a bright light is turned on my eyes will burn and water and I legitimately can not open them...
Here's the reason this is an issue, since it's not explained. When you have sunglasses that aren't UV blocking you STILL open your eyes because it is less bright, this exposes more of your eye to that UV. More than if you didn't have sunglasses and squinted like normal. UV blocking or no sunglasses at all.
My older sister has this. Try putting cold pressed castor oil inside your eyes (like eye drops). Yes, it’s thick so do it at night before bedtime. It’ll slowly improve.
Oakley SI ballistic M frame alpha or nothing else. The biggest problem I had with the $15 to $20 gas station sunglasses was that they wouldn't last a week or two before being scratched up from just cleaning them. Yes, I used proper lens wipes. So after getting tired of constantly spending money to replace the cheap gas station sunglasses, I went to the Cabela's nearest to me(about 2 hours) and tried on sunglasses until I hit on the ones that fit my face the best. The Oakley SI ballistic M frame alpha was the ticket. Now I can go the better part of a year before I have to replace just the lens and reuse the frame. All in all. This is definitely a situation where the phrase "buy once cry once" is highly applicable. Too many times, being cheap, can be more expensive in the long run.
I don’t use sunglasses as sunscreen, I use them as a way to not be physically hurt by the sun light in south Florida. I didn’t know sunglasses were meant to actually protect. I thought it was just got comfort lol
@@LivingForFishingto much sun can damage the whites of the eye. But that’s not the real problem with cheap sunglasses. The real problem is they make your pupils dilate allowing in more light because you just made things a lot darker and they still want to see. But you didn’t block UV rays so now you just let 10 times the amount of UV into the back of your eyes do that on a consistent basis by the time your 40 you eyes will be shot.
I know it will be weird in Florida but your place can get as harsh as in the Philippines in somedays and people don’t always wear sunglasses what many of us wear umbrella. It is much more effective and protects almost all your body.
Is ot because they're not polarised? Kind of didn't explain. In the end, people can make cheap sunglasses expensive so it would be good to know what actually caised this.
Polarization only reduces glare. It is not needed for everyday wear. Sunglasses lenses made out of plastic CR39 or polycarbonate. Both of those materials filter out UVa and uvb rays. She either had super old , super tiny or ill fitting sunglasses. Idk may be she is right and in China they really do sunglasses out of sh*it . But even if you buy sunglasses at target. Your eyes are protected.
Only ever use polarized glasses.. when you're wearing normal sunglasses your pupil dilates like it's dark out but the sideways rays of light which are actually the more dangerous race don't get filtered by the normal sunglasses without polarized lenses. Which just leads to more eye damage
@@pkstevens4165 I wasn’t freaking out. My point was, that sunglasses don’t matter in this case.

Same here, I only wear sunglasses with the double UV protection & these typically cost $100-$200 but have found for $75 at Costco. It’s even worse for blue eyes. Dr told me to wear shades even on cloudy days - outside wear shades!
Me 2 and I also have the yellow dots. My MD told me years ago it was fat deposits and nothing I could do. I also been wearing dollar tree glasses and seeing this I realize it lines up almost perfectly around the time I transitioned from $20-$30 glasses to $1 ones bc I kept losing or breaking them. That was about 15 years ago and I've had it for about 12-14 years now. I'm also starting to have vision problems and I'm only 40, blurring and floaters mostly n can't see at night good anymore, however I always thought it was due to aging 🤦
I buy mine at the same time I'm getting prescription glasses since I wear prescription sunglasses. This time, I had a G12 coating added to the sunglasses. I suffer from extreme photophobia and want the darkest lenses I can get.
Yep I've got those it's UV damage and the scar tissue is formed with fat cells that's why the yellow is there. A scars stand out and when you have dry irritated eyes the scars make everything worse! Always get good sunglasses that wrap around and protect your eyes from the sides top and bottom from the Sun!
I've had my Oakley prisms for years now. I love them. I have light blue eyes and anyone that has them. You know the pain of dealing with the bright light or a great hazy day. Around 90% of the time I got my sunglasses on
it’s not the actual sunglasses that damaged her eyes, but rather how the mistaken belief in “protection” changed how she behaved while wearing them. when we go out in the bright sun without sunglasses, our bodies naturally behave in a way to protect our eyes, such as squinting or needing to look away after a while. but her sunglasses tinted the sun without actually providing any uv protection, so she was more comfortable with looking at bright lights/objects for extended periods of time. so everything was less bright, but still potentially damaging. so while the sunglasses didn’t directly dye her eyes, if she did not have them her eyes would likely not be yellow

Not just to protect your eyes but also the thin and sensitive skin around yout eyes. I don't know how old you are but if you dont wear sunglasses and your always squinting while outside one day when your in your 40s or 50s your going to notice that the skin around your eyes is soo wrinkly and it will prematurely age your face.
I’ve had it since I was a kid…. Sun damage. It won’t make you go blind but in some cases might be callous and you can get it removed. It’s not that serious.
I’m so glad I saw this video, because I’m going to Hawaii and was buying some sunglasses online - however they’re $25 because they have the UV protection. But I’m buying them anyway because I want to protect my eyes.
How about but using sun sunglasses. There's a particular light that is filtered out by sunglasses that is meant to go into your eye. Don't look directly at the Sun but allow the light to get in there.
Hey, some explanation, please? How does it form ? How do you select good sunglasses? What about the cute sunglasses that kids wear ? Is it dangerous?? 😮
You want to make sure the sunglasses you buy are polarized. This blocks out half of the light rays that meet ur eyes and actually provide protection. To confirm theyre polarized, if u tilt ur glasses sideways and look at any sort of electronic screen, the light from the screen should dim/go dark as u turn ur head/glasses. This is how u know ur glasses are polarized.
Idk but I have had this and I never go out in the sun because I have a skin condition. I'm pretty sure this can be a result from dry/bloodshot eyes. It's kind of like when a bruise heals. I stare at a computer for work and I can get bloodshot eyes where my eyes dry out from not blinking enough.
I buy these Berkley Fishing sunglasses that are polarized and 100% UV light blocking. I found them in Walmart at the fishing section. They are 10$. Whenever I go on a trip or something and I forgetthem, I just buy a new pair. I have a couple pairs now.
In Australia you can get perfectly good sunglasses at any pharmacy where they sell Cancer Council glasses (anti skin cancer from sun exposure). They are all high rated against UVA and UVB and many are also polaroids, usually a bit more expensive but worth it, especially for driving. They have good glasses for kids too. Remember the old slogan 'Slip, Slop, Slap'? So slip on sun protective clothing, slop on water resistant, broad spectrum, SPF30 or higher sunscreen regularly if you’re in the sun for long periods and slap on a broad-brimmed hat. I'd stay in a shady spot wearing the Skin Cancer shades you got at the pharmacy or the Cancer Council shop where they sell lots of sun resistant swimwear and hanging out in summer wear
Organic padded every night on outside of eyelids. It got rid of my night vision , eyebrows grew and eyelashes I no longer need cataract surgery only use at night because it helps you sleep
AAAAnnnd overuse of sunglasses reduces functionality of the pituitary gland and can disrupt sleep cycles which can lead to heart problems, and other issues
With that one, when the eyes get too ho or irritated by something like sand or dust in the wind, body produces thick layer to protect the eyes. Washing the eyes with ice water can help reduce the progression/ take out the redness if the eyes turn red.
I have those in my eyes and recently woke up with a red eye. Also recently i started wearing sunglasses and i realized i get headache when o wear some of them. Now i know better after visiting the eye doctor aa well.
There are no laws in the US stating what U.V. Protection sunglasses must have. There aren’t even laws that enforce manufacturers actually producing sunglasses that provide the protection they state they provide.
Also MAKE SURE your sunglasses have Anti-Reflective coating on the INSIDE, not just the outside...I have cataracts in my 30s because the UV rays that enter through the sides bounced off the inside of my sunglasses and into my eyes. My doc explained that when your eyes are behind sunglasses the pupils dilate because they're "in shadow" which makes them MORE vulnerable to issues like this! Also this is much more of a risk if you have very light eyes!
Also a good way to tell if you have AR coating on the inside is to see if the a white lamp reflecting on the inside looks white (no coating) or blue/greenish (coating). Although just make sure when you buy 'em to be extra safe!
I have light sensitive eyes so I have like 5 pairs of oakleys with the prism polarized lenses and I love them they are worth every penny also I'm good at taking care of them one pair is 7 years old and still looks like new
All these people walking around without sunglasses not having this issue. Certainly her glasses didn’t protect her, but I think she needs to stop looking at the sun. Unless someone can explain to me why cheap sunglasses increase your risk, rather than not decreasing the risk.
I work at an eye doctors office as a doctors assistant, these are not as big of a deal as she is making it, like at all it’s something that happens and they don’t usually go away but it’s not hurting your body in any way
Ive been a huge fan of julbo sunglasses for years. They kinda are spendy, but they are amazing i abuse the hell out of mine toss them around without a case, wipe them on my shirt. And theyve held up for 2 years without any noticable scratches. They are perfect for sunny winter days wher the entire world is a reflector.
Fun fact, armani sun glasses are made in the same factories as the Macy's brand, which is about 10% of the price, so expensive does not equal quality. Look for specs before you buy.
The one recommended by my ophthalmologist whos also my surgeon who i assist in surgery for is GENTEAL drops alao gel type 4 severe use as needed so relieving...ALCON is the brand and also the amazing brand of eye equipment me use for surgical eye procedures ❤😊
That's why I spend the extra money on oakleys. And always pair with a hat. Wear sunglasses the entire day it's light out or even if it's overcast. Good sunglasses will allow you to see in overcast conditions just fine. Don't skimp on your eyes folks. 2 and 300$ sunglasses don't seem that bad if it keeps your eyes from failing
Cheap sunglasses(and actually a fair amount of expensive fashion glasses) also tend to bend light weird and can screw your vision up over time. Buy glasses that are well made, not just well marketed. Optical science is hard. Tinting glass or plastic is not. Know the difference.
My sunglass to be honest cost more than some people Annual income...i ordered specially and Crafted by Rayban in Italy. Total cost of the lenses and frame around 23,000$

Polarized sunglasses are the best. They have layered laminate through the lens for extra protection where other fashion sunglasses just have a UV coat that is gone usually in about 6 months. I was an Optical lab manager for years.
The uv coating can disintegrate?! I didn’t know the 100% uv protection had a lifespan.
@@DakotaLily After being baked a few times it is no longer any good
Do you know if a brand called Knockaround sunglasses? Do you know if those brand are a good pair? And also thank on the advice on the Eyewear
That's why I buy Coach sunglasses.
@@famousnightmare3229I looked up Knockaround sunglasses.fpr you. They seem legit. 99-100 UV protection and it is not supposed to fade fast. You should be good.
They have glasses at the Dollar Tree that block 100% of the UVA and UVB rays. It's not about not buying cheap, it's about buying smartly
I wonder if they really are though. A lot of products are faked, even food products like honey and olive oil
I wear solar shades, opthmologist they're the beat glasses amd im.smart for wearingnthem at a young age. Problem is most someglasses dont block light from coming into thebeyes from top , bottom amd on the sides only straight at the face whoch is not ffective
I wouldn’t trust what they say
Folks are so busy trying to justify those huge balances they're carrying over every month. Expensive doesn't mean better. A pair of dollar store glasses every week is still less expensive thn name brand glasses yet offer the same 100% uv protection
Exactly. You don't have to buy expensive, just be smart. It's really easy to find UV protection sunglasses.
2 things...1. There are very few sunglasses made in America. The majority of brand's lenses are made by Italy's Luxottica. 2. All polycarbonate, regardless of color or quality, will block UV rays. The tint is what blocks the visible light only.
They still have to be made to meet American Sales standard to be sold here though so it doesn't matter actually where they're made it matters where they're made to go because I guarantee you the sunglasses the company makes for other countries is a hell of a lot cheaper than the ones they make for America
Worked at lens crafters for 16 years. I can confirm that Luxottica's lenses are safe for the sun. Polycarb is the only lens I suggested for people who wear their glasses most of the day. and RX sunglasses are worth it. They even have a UV tester in most locations so you can see the amount of UV light going through. Legit eyewear stores will sell quality, safe sun wear.
I'm glad someone else knew this.... people think that sunglasses are made from all different kinds of companies... Nope, the large majority of expensive and cheap glasses are all made in the same damn warehouse lol smh
@@theindigopapillon3495 I never wear sunglasses at all and have no problem with UV light 🤣
@Dex11421 Complete nonsense, they make the sunglasses to comply with worldwide legislation. They find the highest standard worldwide and build to that standard. It costs Luxottica a few euro (as it is an Italian company) to make the sunglasses.They ate not going to change the lens composition to save a few cents, as it will cost more to stop production and switch chemicals.
Luxottica own most of the brands and sunglass retail outlets. That is why they can sell cheaply made sunglasses for silly money.
Eg,
I don't go outside in the daytime and I wear my sunglasses at night.

In the 80’s, almost no sunglasses sold here in Australia had UV protection (Unless you spent a fortune at an optometrist.) as it wasn’t a thing yet. Then they realised what the UV rays were doing, and that wearing sunglasses made your pupils open more, letting more UV in than if you went without sunglasses. So now, it is in the Standards all sunglasses must be a certain UV protection factor, and all us 80’s kids are waiting to see if we are going to develop early cataracts or go blind.
57 years young so yeah I was around in the 80’s with no sunglasses. Although not in Australia. I still only occasionally wear them. I don’t think we’re at risk for cataracts anymore than anyone else. Well unless you’re pre diabetic or diabetic and blindness I wouldn’t even bother thinking about.

I had that for years on one of my eyes. Then one day I noticed it disappeared. Last time I went to gave my eyes checked, the doctor was surprised that at my age I had no sun damage. I started really wearing sunglasses on my late 20’s and now I’m in my early 60’s.
I had one in my eye too. I was an alcoholic back then ( 11yrs sober now) and my eye Dr said it was from drinking. I sun gaze all the time and my eyes are fine.
@@reignbowblack7769......sungaze
It's not really a sunglasses problem. It's more an effect of the sun on the eyes. So if you have cheap glasses then they probably don't give sufficient protection. But that's kinda the same effect as going without sunglasses
Exactly... that's why it's a problem with the sunglasses. If you go out into the sun believing that you have protection from the sun but your sunglasses don't actually provide any protection, that's a problem with the sunglasses.
Oookay that makes sense I was worried that cheap sunglasses are worse than no glasses - tbh some I just wear for style
Isn't this cause by the eyes being bloodshot and then healing? I get this and I don't go out in the sun. I get it after having bloodshot eyes from looking at a computer screen
It's worse because you will naturally get more light in your eyes if you have the shade without the uv protection.
It Is worse though. Your iris closes into smaller shape to not let as much light in, when without sunglasses. With sunglasses that are bad more uv light gets into the eye cuz the eye has the iris more open cuz your brain only thinks it's not as bright when in actuality it is.
Been wearing cheap sunglasses for years and have the same issue. Was always concerning when it got more noticable and over the years my eyes seem to get dried out easily. Really nice to know this now is most likely my problem
I've been wearing shaded Nemesis safety glasses for about the last 20 years and nothing. I've had some more expensive ones but I always come back to these because I don't care if they get scratched up or lost on a fishing trip.

As a person that worked as an Ophthalmologist assistant in clinic, these are called Pinguecula.
They are a result of irritation of the conjunctiva of the eyes caused by sun exposure, wind and dust.
Though harmless, they can cause eye dryness and irritation and generally not aesthetically pleasing.
When your eyes are continually aggressively exposed with no protection , the Pinguecula can grow into the direction of the pupil of the eye to be what’s called a Pterygium aka Surfer’s Eye.
The symptoms of Pinguecula are more aggravated in this case and this can only be removed in surgery but there’s a chance it will grow back.
If there’s something I learnt working there is wear proper sun protection when outdoors. Before that I had constant eye dryness and irritation and I was starting to develop these. Now they’re less red and less noticeable.
What are your tips for finding proper eye protection?
Ty now this makes sense.❤
People in the olden days never had sunglasses and never had these problems. Now why don't you share how you guys scam people into believing they need to upgrade their glasses every six months.
Hmmm .. I sure would like to copy and paste this comment response to a friend who is vulnerable to eye problems...and just took an outdoor job as a flagger to control traffic around heavy construction.
@@tabithaerickson5767 First, note. Fake sunglasses could do more damage letting in UV rays than going without sunglasses.
Second, branded sunglasses will offer best protection. Check for the label that indicates UVA 400 or 100% protection against UVA and UVB.
You can also get protective lens fitted onto frames at an optometrist, prescription sunglasses are a plus if you have some vision adjustments needed.
You can also test your sunglasses using a UV light in a dark room. If they give off a bluish purple light or block the light they’re good to go.
Maui Jim, Oakley and Ray Ban all have superior lenses. Although pricey are definitely worth it. Polarized lenses are the a plus for enhanced color and anti glare.
Cheap sunglasses can offer really good protection. I took a couple of 3 dollar sunglasses to my optometrist, he put them into a machine and measured the protection scale and it was 400 for both. So it is not about cheap or expensive.
These pinguecula’s were described to me by my ophthalmologist as permanent calluses on the whites of the eyes. They can be irritated by the wind, dry/ sandy wind, the reflection from asphalt and the reflection off of the open water … also the dry eye condition named blepharitis can irritate it ..
there is a good steroids drop called alerex that makes the callus flat again stopping the irritation .
WARNING received and applied. Thank you!
Good sunglasses have polycarbonate lenses. Polycarbonate Intrinsically blocks almost all UV with a fairly sharp cutoff at ~400nm. For cheaper sunglasses, the lenses are likely acrylic which lets UVA through.
Also worth noting, reputable brand safety glasses are made of polycarbonate, don't cost much, are designed to cover your entire eyes, can come in sleek tinted varieties, and are not hard to find with UV ratings. So hint hint nudge nudge if you're on a budget.
I've never worn sunglasses, I'm 45yo and I'm outside 90% of the summer either fishing, camping, road tripping, disc golfing and I've never had discoloration of my sclera.
I’ve had those yellow bubbles on both the insides and outside corners of my eyes for years and my optician told me not to go out in the sun without sunglasses again but didn’t explain that the quality matters. Thankfully 3yrs later the ones on the outer corners have disappeared so I hope with time they’ll all go. Good to know the quality of the glasses matter.
They could also be tape worms. That what this girl looks to have. Google pictures of eye worms and don’t eat pork.

You should ask your optometrist why they never mentioned this to you. If your optometrist isn't aware that sunglasses matter, they may never know unless someone tells them.
I used to work as a optician. This is so true. I only wear high quality sunglasses. Now that I’m not in the field, I still save up for them bc it’s that important. Your eyes/vision isn’t anything to mess with.

So is it sunburn?
I have this yellowing in my eyes but was told by my MD that it was fat deposits. I've also been wearing dollar tree sunglasses for the last 15 years. My vision is certainly getting worse, however even tho I'm only 40 I thought it was due to age. I'm getting floaters n have a hard time seeing at night and my vision gets blurry when I stand up. 100 years ago ppl didn't have sunglasses but they had healthy eyes, so I'm so confused😂
@TT-zu5pr Someone explained it in the comments.
This is NOT true at all….optician (someone who SELLS glasses and sunglasses for a living 🤔).
Ask your optometrist, she will educate you
4th year optometry student here. Shes referring to pingueculas. They are the conjunctival tissue getting too much UV radiation. Uv blocking sunglasses should fix this but i say never cheap out on sunglasses. They are very valuable, especially if youre pale like her. I personally love maui jim but you can get good stuff way cheaper. Keep your eyes safe folks
Edit: there are surgeries to fix this but they have a high recurrence rate. New procedures are promising though
So I have noticed that a couple of pair of cheap sunglasses that I bought that said that they're 100% polarized UV protection we're not at all polarized and there's a way you can test this you take two pairs of sunglasses and you hold the winds in front of each other and you rotate one of the lenses 90° and if the lens does not get darker to the point where you can no longer see through it as you rotate it then it's not really polarized and it will not protect your eyes and there are lots of sunglasses that do not do this so that means they're not polarized and they will not protect your eyes from the UV rays
Bet its pterygium. Pterygium is a raised, fleshy, triangular-shaped growth on your eye's conjunctive. Long-term exposure to UV light is the main cause. Your eyes may be red, swollen and irritated in mild cases. If pterygium grows, your vision may be blocked or blurred. Make sure you're sunglasses are polarized and also wear a hat when out in the sun. I have a lot of surfer and lifeguard friends in Hawaii that also have this eye condition. It can be cut out but it usually grows back if you keep on having sun exposure.
They are pingueculas. Pterygium grow closer to the junction of the sclera (white part) and the colored part of the eye and yes...can progress into the corneal structure. Pinguecula stay put on the white part but can definitely grow bigger and cause irritation.
Are you a doctor? An Ophthalmologist? If not, be careful what you say....(conjuctive/ lol)

As a florida girl....i can honestly tell you ....ive never worn sunglasses and never had yellow dots in my eyes 😅 The glasses bother me more than the sun.
That may be because Florida is humid. But you will develop cataracts and skin cancer. I am from Louisiana and had both. You can buy clear lenses with UV protective coating. Also if you wear prescription glasses you can get clear with UV protection. My glasses magnified the sun and caused the cancer to develop on my cheek because I didn’t get the UV blocker.
Same here, I grew up in south Florida and I now live in Hawaii and I almost never wear sunglasses. I only wear them when I’m fishing if I want to be able to see what’s below the water surface to take the glare off they’re also good driving in the rain for the glare.

Wtf you just extrapolated an insane conclusion
The cheapies can have abberations in the lenses. Not optical quality. That's why you get headaches.
And the arms maybe press on pressure points around your ear causing headache
Don’t wear any and you get the same result. It’s simple if you like the cheap ones because of the look then just get proper lenses.
Bs, listen bud
I'm in retail and have ordered from huge companies and sold the best and worst sunglasses that are manufactured.... we don't have a lot of manufacturing plants for sunglasses and then same company that makes most of the best brands also makes 40% of the cheapest ones.... normally the difference is material used on frames as uv protection is mass produced and very cheap after making it for a extended amount of time. There is one China based company that sells on temu(sp) and I recommend you never shop on temu(sp) as everything I see seems to be as fake and cheap as possible
I wear sunglasses when no one else is...when it's raining...when it's overcast...late in the day...I always think people are probably looking at me like there's something wrong with me but my eyes are sensitive and if I'm squinting at all my eyes hurt and I end up with a headache...I can see pretty well in the dark though 🤷🏻♀️

My sister has this. She used to wear decent enough sunglasses but apparently strong wind can do that damage too!
Here's the reason this is an issue, since it's not explained. When you have sunglasses that aren't UV blocking you STILL open your eyes because it is less bright, this exposes more of your eye to that UV. More than if you didn't have sunglasses and squinted like normal. UV blocking or no sunglasses at all.
I have never had that problem and rarely wear sunglasses. The natural light in the eye is important.

Oakley SI ballistic M frame alpha or nothing else. The biggest problem I had with the $15 to $20 gas station sunglasses was that they wouldn't last a week or two before being scratched up from just cleaning them. Yes, I used proper lens wipes. So after getting tired of constantly spending money to replace the cheap gas station sunglasses, I went to the Cabela's nearest to me(about 2 hours) and tried on sunglasses until I hit on the ones that fit my face the best. The Oakley SI ballistic M frame alpha was the ticket. Now I can go the better part of a year before I have to replace just the lens and reuse the frame. All in all. This is definitely a situation where the phrase "buy once cry once" is highly applicable. Too many times, being cheap, can be more expensive in the long run.

@@LivingForFishingto much sun can damage the whites of the eye. But that’s not the real problem with cheap sunglasses. The real problem is they make your pupils dilate allowing in more light because you just made things a lot darker and they still want to see. But you didn’t block UV rays so now you just let 10 times the amount of UV into the back of your eyes do that on a consistent basis by the time your 40 you eyes will be shot.
I know it will be weird in Florida but your place can get as harsh as in the Philippines in somedays and people don’t always wear sunglasses what many of us wear umbrella. It is much more effective and protects almost all your body.
@@treymiller5736 oooo okay that answers some stuff.
Is ot because they're not polarised? Kind of didn't explain. In the end, people can make cheap sunglasses expensive so it would be good to know what actually caised this.
Polarization only reduces glare. It is not needed for everyday wear. Sunglasses lenses made out of plastic CR39 or polycarbonate. Both of those materials filter out UVa and uvb rays. She either had super old , super tiny or ill fitting sunglasses.
Idk may be she is right and in China they really do sunglasses out of sh*it . But even if you buy sunglasses at target. Your eyes are protected.
The sun and weather/air conditions definitely nothing to do with the glasses
Only ever use polarized glasses.. when you're wearing normal sunglasses your pupil dilates like it's dark out but the sideways rays of light which are actually the more dangerous race don't get filtered by the normal sunglasses without polarized lenses. Which just leads to more eye damage
Mine are from Walmart/Walgreens. $20, polarized, over eyeglasses. There are cheap options.

Same here. This is bs😂
Yeah but maybe because we don't wear them our eyes are healthy as well but maybe they are using some sort of weird lens that hurts the eyes
it’s not the actual sunglasses that damaged her eyes, but rather how the mistaken belief in “protection” changed how she behaved while wearing them.
when we go out in the bright sun without sunglasses, our bodies naturally behave in a way to protect our eyes, such as squinting or needing to look away after a while.
but her sunglasses tinted the sun without actually providing any uv protection, so she was more comfortable with looking at bright lights/objects for extended periods of time. so everything was less bright, but still potentially damaging.
so while the sunglasses didn’t directly dye her eyes, if she did not have them her eyes would likely not be yellow

I’m so glad I saw this video, because I’m going to Hawaii and was buying some sunglasses online - however they’re $25 because they have the UV protection. But I’m buying them anyway because I want to protect my eyes.
GET THE POLARIZED SUNGLASSES
i thought you were about to open a bag of chips😭😭
Haha
How about but using sun sunglasses.
There's a particular light that is filtered out by sunglasses that is meant to go into your eye. Don't look directly at the Sun but allow the light to get in there.
Hey, some explanation, please? How does it form ? How do you select good sunglasses? What about the cute sunglasses that kids wear ? Is it dangerous?? 😮
Good questions
You want to make sure the sunglasses you buy are polarized. This blocks out half of the light rays that meet ur eyes and actually provide protection. To confirm theyre polarized, if u tilt ur glasses sideways and look at any sort of electronic screen, the light from the screen should dim/go dark as u turn ur head/glasses. This is how u know ur glasses are polarized.
The brown spots on ur eyes are just sunburns on ur eyes. Theyre basically permanent and occur when u dont wear sunglasses/polarized sunglasses.
Idk but I have had this and I never go out in the sun because I have a skin condition. I'm pretty sure this can be a result from dry/bloodshot eyes. It's kind of like when a bruise heals. I stare at a computer for work and I can get bloodshot eyes where my eyes dry out from not blinking enough.
What’s the difference between cheap sunglasses and none at all?
You don't shade your eyes as much or protect them BC your cheap sunnies give the illusion of dampening the glare but aren't. It's counterproductive.
Your eyes dont look intot eg solun without any protectipn
Your eyes get destroyed with cheap sun glasses, don't ever use them!
Expensive sunglasses often are the same. You need to buy some that actually block UV. Polarized are often really good.
I buy these Berkley Fishing sunglasses that are polarized and 100% UV light blocking. I found them in Walmart at the fishing section. They are 10$. Whenever I go on a trip or something and I forgetthem, I just buy a new pair. I have a couple pairs now.
My dad's eyes were like that. He was a firefighter for 32 years.
In Australia you can get perfectly good sunglasses at any pharmacy where they sell Cancer Council glasses (anti skin cancer from sun exposure). They are all high rated against UVA and UVB and many are also polaroids, usually a bit more expensive but worth it, especially for driving. They have good glasses for kids too. Remember the old slogan 'Slip, Slop, Slap'? So slip on sun protective clothing, slop on water resistant, broad spectrum, SPF30 or higher sunscreen regularly if you’re in the sun for long periods and slap on a broad-brimmed hat. I'd stay in a shady spot wearing the Skin Cancer shades you got at the pharmacy or the Cancer Council shop where they sell lots of sun resistant swimwear and hanging out in summer wear
What the Australia are you talking about.

Australia gets a higher uv intensity. Highest uv rated sunglasses are required.
Organic padded every night on outside of eyelids. It got rid of my night vision , eyebrows grew and eyelashes I no longer need cataract surgery only use at night because it helps you sleep
AAAAnnnd overuse of sunglasses reduces functionality of the pituitary gland and can disrupt sleep cycles which can lead to heart problems, and other issues
Does anyone know a good affordable brand for nighttime glasses? Car headlights are freaking blinding!!!
Yellow lenses
You need Vitamin A. Also see eye doctor for night blindness.
If I needed sunglasses God would have given me them
With that one, when the eyes get too ho or irritated by something like sand or dust in the wind, body produces thick layer to protect the eyes.
Washing the eyes with ice water can help reduce the progression/ take out the redness if the eyes turn red.
I've had them since I was 13. Still there haven't lost anything 44 years later. So... Cheers 🥂
why are my eyes perfect then, and i never wear sunglasses?
I think it's because the type of glasses 🕶️ bad lenses .
Good to see Otto Waalkes is in medical consulting now
I have those in my eyes and recently woke up with a red eye. Also recently i started wearing sunglasses and i realized i get headache when o wear some of them. Now i know better after visiting the eye doctor aa well.
There are no laws in the US stating what U.V. Protection sunglasses must have. There aren’t even laws that enforce manufacturers actually producing sunglasses that provide the protection they state they provide.
Also MAKE SURE your sunglasses have Anti-Reflective coating on the INSIDE, not just the outside...I have cataracts in my 30s because the UV rays that enter through the sides bounced off the inside of my sunglasses and into my eyes. My doc explained that when your eyes are behind sunglasses the pupils dilate because they're "in shadow" which makes them MORE vulnerable to issues like this! Also this is much more of a risk if you have very light eyes!
Also a good way to tell if you have AR coating on the inside is to see if the a white lamp reflecting on the inside looks white (no coating) or blue/greenish (coating). Although just make sure when you buy 'em to be extra safe!
I stick with Maui Jim sunglasses cause they're great lense that protect from UV without ruining my phone screen when looking at it
I have light sensitive eyes so I have like 5 pairs of oakleys with the prism polarized lenses and I love them they are worth every penny also I'm good at taking care of them one pair is 7 years old and still looks like new
All these people walking around without sunglasses not having this issue. Certainly her glasses didn’t protect her, but I think she needs to stop looking at the sun. Unless someone can explain to me why cheap sunglasses increase your risk, rather than not decreasing the risk.
I have Prescription Sunglasses. I am light sensitive (Migraines), so I always have sunglasses on, when outside.
I work at an eye doctors office as a doctors assistant, these are not as big of a deal as she is making it, like at all it’s something that happens and they don’t usually go away but it’s not hurting your body in any way
As someone who lives in tropical climate, i generally avoid sunlight at all cost. Though it's a futile effort, i still do my fucking best at it.
Ive been a huge fan of julbo sunglasses for years. They kinda are spendy, but they are amazing i abuse the hell out of mine toss them around without a case, wipe them on my shirt. And theyve held up for 2 years without any noticable scratches. They are perfect for sunny winter days wher the entire world is a reflector.
That’s why I buy my sunglasses by the case. Cheap and legit,
Fun fact, armani sun glasses are made in the same factories as the Macy's brand, which is about 10% of the price, so expensive does not equal quality. Look for specs before you buy.
Dr.Boxer, reccomend a good sunglasses that actually protects our eyes
i have a pair from the dollar store and they are amazingly polarized...
The one recommended by my ophthalmologist whos also my surgeon who i assist in surgery for is GENTEAL drops alao gel type 4 severe use as needed so relieving...ALCON is the brand and also the amazing brand of eye equipment me use for surgical eye procedures ❤😊
This is why I always get my prescription glasses tinted. Well worth it and never ruined my eyes with the cheapies
That's why I spend the extra money on oakleys. And always pair with a hat. Wear sunglasses the entire day it's light out or even if it's overcast. Good sunglasses will allow you to see in overcast conditions just fine. Don't skimp on your eyes folks. 2 and 300$ sunglasses don't seem that bad if it keeps your eyes from failing
Cheap sunglasses(and actually a fair amount of expensive fashion glasses) also tend to bend light weird and can screw your vision up over time. Buy glasses that are well made, not just well marketed. Optical science is hard. Tinting glass or plastic is not. Know the difference.
My sunglass to be honest cost more than some people Annual income...i ordered specially and Crafted by Rayban in Italy. Total cost of the lenses and frame around 23,000$
