As I was driving home from my regular Sunday dinner with the family, I nearly got in an auto accident due to a public display of cybernetic technology. I am, of course, referring to the phenomenon of girls with OVERSIZED sunglasses. Ladies, let me just be frank here: bigger is not better when it comes to sunglasses. Allow me to show you a few examples of otherwise attractive females that can easily be mistaken for CYBORG INVADERS due to their questionable choice in eye apparel.
I want to know where girls get the idea that covering half of their face with plastic is going to be attractive!? Forget plastic surgery, the real plastic destroyers of natural beauty are sunglasses.
I propose that every woman with cyber-eyes trade in their fashion mistakes for a pair of these bad boys:
At least then, girls wearing sunglasses will be aware of the fact that they look ridiculous AND they’ll be ready for combat when the real cyborgs invade our planet.

Sorry, to burst a bubble, but bigger is better when it comes to sunglasses. The goal of sunglasses is to protect the eyes from UV rays. Rays hitting the eyes from the side do as much damage as those hitting the eyes square on.
Small eyeglasses work because, for humans at least, our vision focusses forward.
Sunglasses are a different beast. Sunglasses exist to protect our eyes from UV rays.
Small sunglass lenses can actually do more harm to the eye than good. What happens is that the corneas open wider to adjust to the light hitting the glasses head on. The open cornea is then damaged from light rays hitting from the side.
You may notice that performance eyewear is designed to hug the face. The function of face hugging goggles isn’t to keep the snow out. It is to keep the damaging rays reflecting off the snow from hitting the eyes.
The big sunglass phenomena is probably happening because women are listening to their doctors. I applaud the women wearing proper protective eyewear.

I have to say that I believe Kevin must work in a shop that sells massive sunglasses to women.
These are utterly ridiculous contraptions. We are not talking about women on skiing holidays here but women wandering the streets and in any weather. Wearing what can only be the most ridiculous fashion forced on women by marketing moguls so far.
Are we to beleive that female stars wear these because their doctors advise them to?
They don’t seem to listen when its about drinking, drugs, insane diets or torture like health regimes to stay size zero.
The sooner this fashion passes the better for everyone.
