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 . [Edited 3/7/07 11:11am] | |

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. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

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. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss

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

[Edited 3/7/07 11:11am] 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 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".
