Where To Buy Indoor Sunglasses?

Postby Flamaha45 » Fri 01 Jan 2021 5:20 pm

Hi there,

I've had Keratoconus for 25 years, and wear sunglasses all the time when I'm outside, due to light sensitivity.
However, these days I'm finding some artificial indoor light unbearable too, and so have been wearing sunglasses indoors.
But my outdoor sunglasses are too dark for indoor use, so I've been looking for a long time for a decent pair of indoor sunglasses which provide some protection, and with a tint, but which aren't too dark, so I can still see what I'm doing.
Do any of you wear indoor sunglasses, and if so, can you direct me to a website that sells decent ones?
i can't for the life of me seem to find any which may help me out.
Surely there's some indoor sunglasses out there for people with Keratoconus...
Here's hoping for some replies...
Happy New Year everyone X

I live in a rather expensive pair of Oakleys. I used to live in Oneal Barrel wrap arounds for years before saving up for the Oakleys.

Snap.

I hope someone can steer me in the direction of decent indoor ones...
