That's a medical issue that requires you to wear glasses. The average person does not need sunglasses. Yes they help but that's a convince not a need. Every species of diurnal animals survive the sun everyday without sub glasses. The light comes from above and it's rare for anything to stare directly into the sun long (can cause eye damage).

Now in a captive situation we try to replicate but do provide the strength or spectrum light the sun does. We place are lights where they shine down onto the monitor. My monitors rarely look up towards the light just like nature.

That is an important point when placing UV tubes or indeed any tube in a viv always above not directly in line with there eyes that would damage them.
