The title
In: 37
I feel you, fellow light-eyed comrade. Our eyes are precious jewels that must be protected at all costs.
I keep 2 different pairs of sunglasses on me at all times. A BLACK DARK pair for if the sun is out, and a medium brown one for when it’s overcast. Overhead lights in my house are banned. I am 24 years old and have lines around my eyes because I spend 80% of the time squinting.
I have very fair skin and blue/grey/green eyes. I don’t get headaches from light, but I have grown to always look down in sunlight and avoid looking at certain things. Like white walls and glass that reflect the sun. I wear glasses anyway, so sunglasses have never really been my thing. Was lucky enough to afford those colour changing ones once. That was awesome but I can’t afford new ones.
As a light-eyed person, I never felt like I was any more sensitive to light than others. My skin on the other hand :C
Purely anecdotal, but virtually everyone I know who is sensitive to light has blue or green eyes. I’m a blue/grey who can’t leave the house without sunglasses, regardless of whether the sun is out – I also have my screens turned waaaaay down and everything in dark mode, and it is a known rule in my house that if we need Mum to fix something on our phone or we want to show her something, we turn down the brightness before handing her the phone.
