do any of you actually not like wearing sunglasses?

I really dislike wearing sunglasses. Of course they are great when it comes to not having to make eye contact (and looking cool ), but I still find them annoying because they kind of hurt my eyes and on my face (or just don't feel right) and make me feel almost slightly disorientated. Can't explain it any better. Also I never find that they really make that big a difference for me when looking around in the bright sunlight (even though I see it's healthier for the eyes to wear them).

I don't wear sunglasses, in order to be able to wear them, I'd need a prescription for and can't afford it. Regular sunglasses without prescription lenses, I can't see well so no point.

I love wearing sunglasses. I have 13 pairs, but I usually end up wearing my really cool Choppers ones, they're big and badass. I like how you can look at anybody or anything and not get noticed...

Yup, Sunglasses are a nuisance. They are also a bit pointless, given that they barely cover half my FOV.

Prescription sunglasses are total awesomeness. They're not only useful, they protect your eyes, cut glare, make eye contact with people so much more bearable and in the TX heat, it's indispensible. What's there to hate?

I find them obnoxious. I sometimes wear them because I need to. But I don't like how they feel on my face, plus, it's quite a bit extra weight. I like to be free and unconstricted.

I live in Florida. When I wear my sunglasses outside my eyes don't hurt. It's really quite pleasant.

I don't wear sunglasses, mainly 'cause I'd look horrible :s

I'm buying some new ones soon!! !! !!

i like wearing them, but only if i can be arsed to put in my contacts. plus i look cool in them

I have a pair of sunglasses but their only function is to lay on the shelf because I never wear them. I wear normal glasses because I'm short-sighted and I'm not going to resign from a privilege of having a clear vision only to wear that shoddy sunglasses.

I wear sunglasses all the time when I'm outdoors. Sometimes even while indoors, if window or light glares are bothersome because I haven't had enough sleep. I've been relying on sunglasses fulltime for about 6 years, now. Before that, I hated sunglasses, because all of them that I'd ever come across seemed counterproductive - probably the same problems that you currently have with them. But discovering the right sunglasses has been a boon to my happiness because they allow me to spend time outdoors in the bright sun and give me another degree of control. My sunglasses are an indispensible tool for me.

My key to sunglasses is that they must be polarized. Polarized lenses remove the glare and make everything I see more defined. They work without having to be very heavily tinted. You can get them with just about any degree of "darkness" that you desire (I usually go for light brown, only moderately tinted, so that I can wear them indoors if I need to). Polarization use to be considered a "premium feature" for sunglasses, driving up the price. However, now polarized sunglasses can be obtained "on the cheap" (I usually pay around $10 USD for them).

Of course, if you require corrective lenses, you'll need something extra. I'll let you figure that out, since I don't know much about clip-ons or contacts.
