I feel silly even posting this, but I am embarrassed to wear sunglasses when I'm grocery shopping or running errands.

I always end up taking the glasses off after people stare at me a bunch of times. I know I shouldn't care, but I just feel silly wearing them.

I have developed an extreme sensitivity to light (I had issues before, but it is extra painful now).

This started after I began taking prescription eye drops. My eye doctor seems to think that this constant eye pressure/pain is caused by my sinuses, but I doubt it. I am in MORE pain now that I have been taking the eye meds for 2 weeks.

When I wear the glasses, it seems like I can focus better. I don't get as overwhelmed in the store. I also find it easier to watch TV and work on the computer with sunglasses on.

I am not sure what the point of my post is. I don't think I need advice. I think I just wanted to vent and see if anybody else could relate.
