In my younger days money was usually pretty tight and not being fully aware of what proper eye protection for outdoor activities provided, I would just pick up a pair of any sunglasses that looked cool. These were usually cheap plastic sunglasses that looked good but offered very little protection from the sun and glare coming off of water surfaces. I would return home from a long day of fishing and wonder why my eyes hurt or try to figure out how in the world I developed such a horrible headache. It took me years to figure out that the fishing sunglasses I was using were related to the problem.
