Seeker:- If you stop wearing sunglasses you will get used to it again and not have to squint so much. I tried it for a year and found it was only a matter of weeks until I didn't seem to need sunglasses anymore.. although passing white buildings with white concrete footpaths still reflect way too much light for my old eyes.
As long as near 20 years ago I remember walking in the sun for a distance of perhaps 100 meters and it felt as if the sun was 100c on my skin - only in one suburb tho, possibly because 20 odd years ago I used to partake in recreational gatherings with mates...
I always thought it was like the sky had a hole in it and it was blistering...
I think this is entirely normal. There is nothing to define normal but it sure is not created.
Oh and hyper-photosensitivity is not cleared up by not wearing sunnies - I'm ver terribly photosensitive. And even on overcast rainy days, if I am caught without sunnies out side, even the glare off the wet road can debilitate me to the point of having to rely on someone to navigate.
Bright sights, or loud noises do me in. I hope you're not advising people who suffer a real problem to not use sunnies.. terrible to be caught in that...



However, where I live in the UK we still get some lovely bright blue skies, and have had
several days like that this year, and badly need some rain! Today is lovely blue with white fluffy clouds
