Just wonderin.

For cosmetic reasons.

Example: Stevie wonder, Jose Feliciano.

Hes the one who made me wonder.

What do ya mean though?

Often times their eyes are "strange" looking ...so they do it as a favor to the people that would stare and gasp

I used to raise Leader dog pups ... it was an amazing experience

Get OUT!

I love love love when you see them out. The seeing eye dogs rite?

They're so smart.

Okay, I know what ya mean now about the eyes. I didn't know if they were jsut really sensetive or something.

Mach said:

Yeah that part in "Ray" comes to mind. When the guy puts the glasses on him so he doesnt scare people.

shausler said:

Depends on how much blindness they have maybe.

SureThing said:

Yes "leader Dogs For The Blind "

You raise the pups for the 1st yr and then give them back to futher their training

They are extremely smart... their breeding program insures that

if someone was staring at you but they didn't respond when you smiled or waved
you would think, man, what a jerk.
with glasses they avoid accidentally insulting people

that and not all "blind" people are blind.
don't some have light sensitivity?

emm said:

Good point.

There's all different types and levels of blindness. Some are sensitive to the glare from lights.
Relatively few blind people are completely blind. Most have a little residual sight but often it's more annoying than useful.
But yeah most blind people who wear sunglasses do it for other people.

I think it is so they remember which way to face.

Both my husband's mother and grandmother were registered blind. They wore sunglasses because they suffered from light sensitivity and had pain if they went out in sunlight without their sunglasses on.

It always makes me laugh when people wonder about what it's like to be blind? They say stuff like 'what do they see then?' and 'must be black all the time like when we close our eyes'. They're blind, they don't see anything.

That's not true in most cases. Most blind people see something, just not enough to be useful. It really depends on the reason someone is blind.
I'm blind in one eye and I see things from the very top of my eye, and I can see the scars from the surgeries I had. I've learned to ignore it and just use my better eye. Got absolutely no depth perception though.

funny.

So you can't see their empty, soul-less eyes.

Spookymuffin said:

But... Trent Reznor has had hundreds of promotional photographs taken of himself without sunglasses on.

Mach said:

hey the singer Gabrielle always wore shades too cos she has a lazy eye
either shades or she grows her hair long at one side and has it swept over her eye

Andrea Bocelli doesn't wear sunglasses.

REDFEATHERS said:

My eyes look a little different, a little like a lazy eye because of all the surgeries I've had. I get people who don't know which eye to look at when they're talking to me. It used to bother the hell out of me but now I just point to my good eye and say "I'm over here".

Reincarnate said:

Thats what I was wondering.



Thanks for all the answers guys!
