UV therapy in the 19th c
edit
It should maybe be noted in the history section that sunglasses were widely used by doctors and patients in the 19th century who participated in UV therapy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianshapiro (talk • contribs) 01:56, 23 April 2014

needless skepticism
editin the article, one finds this: "yellow/amber and brown-tinted glasses had been used to alleviate symptoms of syphilis in the 19th and early 20th centuries, because sensitivity to light was one of the symptoms of the disease,[dubious – discuss]". there is nothing 'dubious' about this; numerous sources including CDC note that sensitivty to light is one symptom of syphillis. wikipedia would be more respected if users would refrain from gratuitous skepticism, especially when verification of claims is so widely and readily available. we don't need proof that the earth rotates around its own axis and around the sun.

Contradictory description of inuit snow goggles.
editThe description that inuit snow goggles "reduce exposure" but don't "reduce its intensity" is oxymoronic and inaccurate. The goggles primarily block incoming light from high and low angles, but also reduce the mount of light reaching the pupil from obects in line with the slit. Thus, they in fact do reduce the intensity. Fauble2000 (talk) 16:21, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
