No, that's not what I mean. I guess I left out some of the "middle info." Much like skin cancer can show up years after bad sun exposure, so too can long term sun exposure to your eyes (especially light-eyed folks like me) result in eye damage down the road. Once my eye doc explained this to me, I began to wear good sunglasses religiously. This was the same doc who eventually did my LASIK, and he always reminds me (and all his patients) to protect your eyes from the sun.
So, my point was, that after spending that kind of money on my eyes, I'm not about to endanger them by neglecting to wear quality eye protection.
