Welding Glasses: For those days when sunglasses just don't help. Seriously - For the most photosensitive of you, normal sunglasses just don't have the screening power necessary. For this reason, most vampires I know recommend welding glasses. They're available for very reasonable prices in any welding store you care to name, and in some hardware stores. they come in fourteen theoretical IIRC shades. Strength 3 or 5 is recommended by most vampires. A word of caution, however - Most welding glasses are shaded green or blue, which can make colour-distinction very tricky indeed (Which is a real problem when you're driving, and come to a traffic-signal). Eventually, your eyes do get used to it, but in the meantime be careful. For the fashion-concious of you, (And those who don't want to look like idiots, wandering around town wearing welding glasses) don't worry! Most come in very mundane shapes and sizes - So much so that it can be tricky distinguishing them from normal glasses.
The only company I'm aware of that sells them over the internet (I haven't looked very hard, admittedly) is UVEX. Check them out. A number of vampires I know swear by their 'Astrospecs'. Unfortunately, Astrospecs only sell shades 2, 3 and 5. Uvex does sell stronger shades, but unfortunately it requires ugly goggles beyond that point. Check out their colour chart here. Also, I should note that UVEX do not appear to have any online ordering forms - Potential customers will probably have to phone or write to the company. Sorry about that; we can only hope that they'll join us in the 21st century soon. :)
