    Sunglasses and UV-blocking clothes.

    With the first I discovered that I have a high sensitivity to light, now I can see much more during the day.

    And the second is very useful, protecting me from sun without the need to worry about sunscreen (except for the face)

        Do not trust that close to the equator. It will not work.

          I live at high altitude where the UV is stronger than anywhere else. Clothing still works. Heck, even a light shawl works.

        Not as much as you would think, and especially less nowadays with companies cheapening out on quality.

              Bruh they are saying a cotton t shirt, literally your arms exposed so of course it’s very low uv coverage. It’s not a very scientific article

                They talk about how to look for a tighter weave in the fabric, how a thinner fabric let’s the uv radiation through. This is common knowledge, where I’m from. The childcare centres send out notices about it. Do you need to be scientific about basic knowledge? This is basic stuff, buddy.

      I have the same issue with light, had prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses, and had to switch between the two frequently. Finally got prescription transitions and they’re incredible, I no longer have to think about my glasses at all. Just put them on and go.
