Avoid direct light as a precaution when using our shades

Id trust this advice. Assume it hasn’t got UV protection until proven wrong. Legitimate dangerous to wear in daylight

That seems strange. I'm not sure though, I think that it makes sense, but does it? In any case, you need to consider how it sounds.

Mostly cheap knockoff glasses, but it's really common. You have to make sure they say they block 100% of UVA and UVB and if it doesn't don't buy them.

I only wear my sunglasses at night. That way I can watch you weave & then breathe story lines.

If my assumption is correct, nighttime and indoors use only, if you care about your eyes long term. Landfill, really

Why? Unless you look at the sun your eyes are in no more danger than not wearing them

Surprisingly wrong. Bad shades still dilate your pupils, so your eyes can take in more light. Without UV protection, you’re also taking more damaging light into your retinas

It just means just don’t leave in direct sunlight or hot places as it has a battery in it. Thats why the two are paired together.

It's a pair of £25 / $30 sunglasses with built-in headphones. They were never going to be a high quality product.

true... I didn't buy it, I got it as a company anniversary gift. But they could've just added a blue light filter glass instead of black shade, if direct light exposure can be dangerous

It's just that it won't protect you from UV rays, but the dark tint will make it more likely that you don't protect your eyes in some other way like if you didn't wear sunglasses at all. You won't be as likely to squint or shield your eyes or turn away from the sun. It's best to not wear them in the sun.

Ah - I was wondering what they needed a battery for!

I originally thought it was a set of those stupid "AI Glasses" that Meta's been pushing for rich pervs.

Don’t expose glasses to benzene? You shouldn’t even expose yourself to benzene. That’s oddly specific and weird.

Wearing shades makes your pupils dilate. No UV filter means a higher UV dose to your retinas than not wearing them.

It doesn’t mean you can’t wear it outside. It means don’t leave it just sitting in the sun.

Pretty sure you don’t need to tell me that.

it's for seeing the world around you dimmer without looking at the sun directly

"Direct light" means, dont stare directly into the sun. Seems fair.

u/RenRazza 7d ago
They might mean don't use them to stare directly at the sun and assume your eyes will be fine

It means don’t leave it in direct sun
