I wish people would stop saying that wearing sunglasses inside is disrespectful.

Some people wear sunglasses because of anxiety or just comfort.

Some people wear them to hide a lazy eye or other medical condition that makes them self conscious.

Some people wear them to help with symptoms of vision loss or blindness (some blind people still see light to some extent and bright lights can be uncomfortable)

Some people wear sunglasses to help prevent or lessen the severity of migraines, seizures or other neurological issues.

Sometimes people with glasses break their regular pairs and they only have prescription sunglasses as a backup.

Let people wearing sunglasses be. They're not bothering you.

#me thinking about how annoying it is constantly getting asked why I'm wearing sunglasses inside or at night #i wear glasses in general so sometimes I just wear my prescription sunglasses just because #but sometimes I wear sunglasses during my migraines or after my seizures because I'm photosensitive #drastic changes in light or flashing lights can trigger my seizures but wearing sunglasses makes it a little easier #idk if having sunglasses on would help if I was in front of a strobe but it helps going from outside to inside or dark rooms to bright ones #sunglasses #disabilities #disability
