I know someone who was in the SCA who wore wraparound sunglasses (black)
in sunshine because he had acute photosensitivity. It looked very odd,
considering he was VERY Welsh in extraction and had long flowing hair. But
it was a _lot_ easier to ignore his sunglasses than to deal with him if he
got a migraine.

I wear contacts most of the time, and most people who know me know me
without glasses. But this year I've gotten new glasses and wear them a
lot-- I find that no-one actually notices that I'm wearing glasses. [Of
course, at one point I had a huge bandaid under one eye for a week and
only three people commented, so I don't know if people don't notice or
don't comment. *GRIN*]
