Answer 1

I can’t ELI5, but I have dark brown eyes, and my gf has blue. She comments all the time how she can’t stand it that I never wear sunglasses

Sure, light bounces off of snow and gravel etc, and I’ll have to squint. But that’s about it. Sunglasses while driving, or golfing, is a major distraction. I don’t even wear glasses at the lake.

Yet I got that thing where sunlight makes me sneeze, so there’s that. Can’t have it all
