Afraid

[Mamatired]

I am afraid to wear sunglasses when I drive. I worry that if I get into an accident, I will get blinded by the impact of the airbag against the glasses over my eyes. I hate it because I love to wear sunglasses in the summer. They go very well with my outfits and block the sun from my eyes. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Grads where the tint is stronger at the top of the lens, the tint gets less to vurtually , clear at the bottom, means it cuts down on the brightness of the sun. Many people wear prescription sunglasses for driving I have two pairs of glasses one varifocal with a Grad Lens and the other with varifocal with Reactorlites that helps for general us and the other for driving.Many of car windscreens and windows have a light grey or brown tint To cut down glare. I do not know what else to suggest.

I can see why you are worried about that. It’s forward thinking. And yet, not wearing sunglasses while driving could be more dangerous if you aren’t able to see. Have you thought about wearing “industrial strength” hi-impact glasses for driving? The kind athletes wear? Then leave the pretty and dainty ones in your car for when you get out to go shopping or whatnot. 👍🏼🌿

Hi if you get in am accident the glass from your windscreen might shatter but you sunglasses would more than likely protect you from that so there's a different perspective

This sounds like the intrusive thoughts side of OCD to me (I am a sufferer). Lots of people wear glasses when driving but this thought has perhaps got stuck with you. I see you are diagnosed with OCD. Speaking to a professional should help with this 🙂
