RE: [RC] Did you know?? Sunglasses - Carolyn Burgess

Wiley-X SG-1's. They have several different types of lenses, including clear.  Made of balistic nylon so you can take a rock to the face while riding and not injure your eye. Designed for military use so they are very, very tough.

This brings up a good subject I have been meaning to pose to RC - what types of sun eye protection do people use and why? I'd like to start riding in shades but wonder what people find are best.

Subject: [RC] Did you know??

Hiya,
I just got back from the eye doctor.  My first consultation for having my eyes fixed.  I am severly near sighted (blind as a bat, yes, legally without lenses) and was hoping to be able to have lasix done. 
Found out that not only am I blind (already knew that) but that I have CATERACTS (OMG) at the age of 38 (GASP!!!)  So I am having the cateracts removed and the new lense implants put in.
To keep this endurance related and the real reason I am posting.... Did you know that sun exposure can cause cateracts, and also cortisone type drugs, steroids, etc.? 
All of us horse addicted people should be wearing sun glass/shades while out enjoying our equine activities.
I had no clue that this could happen.  I have been riding 'forever' and only in the past 5-6 years using sunglasses and/or cap w/visor.
STILL IN SHOCK OVER THIS ONE.
