Sunglasses are visual aids that have darkened lenses in order to shield the wearer's eyes from bright light. Sunglasses are useful for outdoor activities, not only to aid in vision, but to protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Sunglasses also serve to hide identity and have been a popular fashion statement since the 1940s.
