Recently i have been looking for sunglasses for my eyes, as they are very sensitive to bright light. The problem is i am having a very hard time finding ones which are actually dark enoth and not just for aesthetics. If anyone can please share some links or the like i would appreciate it.

I have a really dark set of glasses. They are a normal pair of sunny's that Vision Express have increased the tint on.

I have prescription sunglasses (from Specsavers) which I find are dark enough for me, and I get really photophobic. I just asked them to do them as dark as they could for me, and that worked.

The RNIB offer a range of eye shields, clip on, fit over and wrap around. I use them and they are great.

Check out Bolle...there really good glasses and the lenses are interchangable; and plus they come with all the nice-to-haves (polarised, anti-uv, scratch resistant, etc)

This post comes up so often that i think we need it as a FAQ!
Personally i don't have any trouble with being photophobic unless i have an eye problem, but with the summer coming i think i need to look for a decent pair of sunglasses as well!

if you go to a website called mediview they have good sunglasses, they are recommended by mediview, I use them, and they take out the glare

Thanks for posting this question. I was going to ask it too.
I'm in Dublin this weekend (I am irish - living in Wales) - going to my optician today to collect new lenses. If they go alright I'll be looking for dark sunglsses too.
My eyes just CLOSE if i'm in bright sun! They literally will not open.
love the Ray Ban suggestion...
