Are we frying our eyes? In sunglasses, plastic is artificial glass. I've been thinking about all the latest news about plastics and the harm than comes from the fumes or the chemicals that leach out over time. We're not supposed to store clothes in plastic bags, or use shower curtains that that emit PVC fumes, or drink water out of plastic bottles or cook with Teflon pans.
What about the plastic lens in sunglasses? What are they doing to our eyesight, especially when they are warm from being left in a hot car?
Mr. McGuire may have been wrong in "The Graduate" - our future may not lay in plastics. Or it may, but if we ruin our eyesight, we won't be able to see it.

Yep, plastic, the original of all artificials!
hilarious photo and excellent commentary!
Great image! It's my hope that the side effects won't be entirely bad - maybe we'll all have x-ray vision some day. ;)
Wonderful image! This makes me wonder what the heck our parents did, yet they seemed to survive just fine. Hmmm...
