Re: Safety question regarding vision

I think that the dark sunglasses are more hazardous to wear because while everything may be sharp it may be too dark to safely work on a robot.

My vision is 20 / 300 in one eye and 20 / 400 in another, so it's not very cut and dry. In order to clearly read the text on my laptop right now I have to wear sunglasses. I'm okay with shapes from most distances, but not textures.
