@scoobdogI've heard that blue eyes are really sensitive to sunlight a few times recently. I had to look into it for myself, but it is true, and also probably the reason everybody thinks I'm pissed off or mean mugging them on sunny days... I assure you that's not the case it's just really hard to relax my eyes and have them open all the way in bright sunlight. I'm about to start walking around like Blade because I think it's getting worse with age.

I also suck at keeping up with sun glasses so I've kind of sucked it up most of my life. I'm working a lot of jobs that have me on the road in work trucks though so I need a pair in there for sure.. I really need to start keeping an emergency pair of shades everywhere I go or something. :painfap:

I have blue eyes and I can’t say that I’ve had unusual sensitivity to light.  But, I’ve also used polarized sun glasses for years.

I'm also reclusive by nature and spend a lot of time in dim light so I'm sure a lot of it is adjustment /acclimation issues. Spending days in the field in the army and also outside in reflective airport surfaces for years never helped though I guess.. That's why I know the blue eyes do play a big part... Also because snow blindness happens pretty damn quick. I have to wear shades when snowboarding or traveling through snow or I'll end up seeing nothing but green...
