Use Sunglasses at Midday if Needed

Using sunglasses in the middle of the day is acceptable, especially because overhead sun carries greater cataract and macular degeneration risk if overexposed.

1 / 1

It's when the sun is overhead, and there's all those photons coming in quickly in a short period of time, that you do have to be concerned about cataract and macular degeneration if you're getting too much daytime sunlight. So the idea is sunglasses in the middle of the day are fine.
