One of the first things I’ve tried is the sunglasses. To help my life be a little easier. I’ve learnt through my ‘people who can’t see good’ group, that I’ve got to be more proactive and organised, because they certainly are. An amazing bunch of people. I was out with a few of them for a drink last night ☺
So the first item that I was very hesitant to use, mainly wear, are my new sunglasses.
I love my ordinary, everyday ones. They form, and are a part of my identity. My usual sense of style isn’t everyones, but it’s my very own. So wearing anything I haven’t picked myself doesn’t sit well. I’m rather self conscious in them so far, but the pros outway the cons rather largely. I’m sure this will fade with time. Sometimes you’ve got to try and accept decisions that aren’t or were never going to be your choice ever, however hard they maybe. As my best mate says. It sometimes looks like I’ve glued myself up, walked into the wardrobe to see what sticks.
I’ve been away for the weekend and tested them out whilst there.
Because I have Photophobia, the sun and glare is a real problem. Even on cloudy, or overcast days. Anytime of year. Usually I stay out of the sun, keep sunglasses on and sometimes still have to deal with pain around my eyes later or an almighty headache. On recent occasions, this has lasted a few days.
So when I was out on Saturday, I popped these on. They have a grey lense as they dulled the brightness for me more than the amber lenses did.
I sat in the full sun by the water for the first time in years as my eyes felt comfortable and it wasn’t bright or didn’t glare at all.
Must admit, I was abit nervous as I continued to sit in the sun other than going into the water nearby. Thinking I would pay for it later on in the day.
I didn’t.
And haven’t since!
So these sunglasses have cured a big problem to me.
They are by Cocoons Sunwear. Black/Grey C402G. Polarised, flexy temples and scratch resistant.A
Aviator style. Side lenses to block out even more of the suns brightness. Sorted!
