Yes, anytime I am outside. Eye doctor says this is a good practice also.

Almost exclusively when driving but not always. On rare occasions I’ll wear them at different places - sitting outdoors at a brewery, Disney, beach, etc. Wife wears hers a lot.

This is me. I have one pair that lives in the car, and even then, it usually only on longer trips that I put them on. My commute is only about two miles, so most of the time they stay in center console.

No. I usually put them behind my head like if I had eyes in the back of my head.

Yes for me. I wear eyeglasses and sensitive to the light.
For what I do with them, I have this very unstylish case that I’ll clip to my waist when I’m out and about, and will keep my regular eyeglasses or sunglasses in there while I’m wearing the other one. My wife mocks me mercilessly for it, but, eh, feel like I‘d look more ridiculous having one over my eyes, and the other on top of my forehead, and prescription glasses expensive to replace if they break or get scratched.

Yes or in pocket.

I bought a six-pack of polarized sunglasses from Sam’s Club, because fashion is super important to me. Down to the last pair and they are an ugly yellow “Blue Blocker fake Oakley” looking pair. But, man do they protect my eyes.
As I get older, my vision isn’t as sharp, and my night vision/light sensitivity has diminished. These sunglasses are a godsend. Even driving at night, they take the edge off the super intense headlights it seems everyone has now.
I look like a complete knob wearing them, but I’ve always been function over form.

After LASIK 20 years ago my eyes became slightly more light sensitive.
Now I'm back to wearing glasses and having prescription sunglasses has been great. Wear them a lot - while driving, golfing, boating, etc

I never did prior to moving to AZ, but after doing so and playing lots of golf and softball and just generally driving in sun almost daily, they're a regular necessity. Went a year without (mainly because I need prescription glasses and I didn't to spend hundreds of dollars on just sunglasses when I wasn't yet making FBG money and my regular glasses weren't cheap) but learned quickly that won't work. I now spend good money for prescription sunglasses that I wear almost daily.

Bought a sunglass strap and liked it so much I put my readers on one too. I don’t care if it makes me look like an old fart, it’s a lot easier than keeping them in my pocket (will break them) or sitting them down and losing them. I’ll do sunglasses on my head if not wearing the strap but the readers are cheap and stretch out easily.

I will need to swallow the pride a bit and check into this. Not a fan of on top of my head or in pocket either. I feel a strap would be highly effective at the cost of looking like an old fart, which I am approaching at this point anyway (51yo).

99% of the time when outside and the sun is out (or if I have my good shade glasses, even when it is cloudy). So much clearer.

Wear a hat ALL the time, so they go on the hat brim.

I don't have contacts and there's no snow here but my blue eyes are definitely over-sensitive to light.... so I always have sunglasses on outside and when driving during the daytime.

I noticed sunglasses were far less common in Europe than in the USA, even during the summer.

This is interesting...I had LASIK about 15 years ago and prior to that wore contacts. My eyes were much more sensitive when I wore contacts than they have been post-LASIK.
When wearing a hat this is the preferred method as well.

Footballguy
Yes, more to protect the eyes even though my contacts have uv blocking.

I have prescription sunglasses.

Yes. This way when you leave a room everyone thinks you are still keeping an eye on them.

Stop staring directly in to the sun, Donald!!

For just the frames? Yes, my optometrist is one of my coworker's wives so I get a friends and family discount.
But with the prescription lens, usually adding some different coloring for golf, and that protections layer they get pricey quickly.

I just use the new sunglasses spray. Works just like spray tan. Mist each eyeball for a few seconds and you're golden.

I find it hard to get used to for some reason. I try and wear them in between shots, walking around the course, etc. but forget half the time.I still don't get how few pros wear sunglasses.

Looking forward to the pIll to fix the damage in a decade or so!

I think the trick is to just go all or none with them. I just decided to own it a few years ago and even wear them to putt now. I do have the special brown tint or whatever on my sunglasses which are support to help with depth perception on green surfaces.I find it hard to get used to for some reason.

Always when I’m outside whether it’s sunny or not
Not sure how anyone goes without on a sunny day. I can barely keep my eyes open without them then
