No, no, no!!!
As a concerned fellow Pelican and Optometrist, wearing sunglasses outdoors, even on overcast days, is probably one of the best ways of preventing the development of age related eye disease, especially "wet" Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD). I have many patients that have gone on to develop ARMD and, believe me, it is Not Fun!.....it can be very debilitating and does seriously affect quality of life especially in the "golden years".
So my $0.02 to all fellow Pelicans, especially to those living in a very sunny climate (CA, AZ, HI, NV, etc.) and also if you spend a great deal of time outdoors...around water, snow.....
Just thought I'd pass that on!
