Re: Sunglasses for monitors

UVB and UVA is damaging to the eyes of all animals including humans with prolonged exposure out doors or looking directly at the Sun or UVB light. This also includes light that is reflected back at the eye from water,snow etc.. Varanus Mad is correct in that all lighting should be installed above eye level to limit eye damage.

To answer the question, Monitors (all of them) have evolved over millions of years to live exclusively on the part of the planet where the sun is the strongest.

Their eyes are well suited for UV radiation...
I am sorry to say this and normaly I have your attitude towards people who want to learn but opening a monitor sunglass hut is just to funny. This has to be right up there on the dumbest thread of all time list. Sunglasses..... really.... wow ,lol.
