Sunglasses

As I recently discovered that I am autistic and lights have always been a problem for me, I would like to get sunglasses and wear them everywhere.

Do you wear sunglasses indoors?

Where would be the best place to get them? I do not like shops and meet strangers, so the best way would be online.

If, I buy them online how can I know that they will fit me?

  • Hi California, I wear sunglasses all the time when driving (except at night although I do struggle with car headlights).  I also wear them most times when outdoors as the light can affect me on a cloudy day.  Best part is, my sunglasses were super cheap - £1.50 from a bargain shop.  I don't need prescription sunglasses, but I know an optician can help with this if you do need specialist lenses. 

    Luckily interior lighting is improving so I don't usually wear them indoors, although people still insist on fitting those god awful spotlights, which give off so much glare!  I find these terrible to be around along with lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lighting.
