You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There are records of sunglasses in earlier history but these were only tainted glasses used to correct eyesight. They were not made to protect the eyes against the sun.

M$Sunwear actually predates eyewear. Eskimo people fashioned the earliest known sunwear from shells or wood, such as those shown above. The small slits in the eyewear only allowed a fraction of the light to come through to the wearer’s eyes to prevent snow blindness.
