Check Those Sunglasses
by Jeff Filler If you wear eyeglasses, hold them away from your face and turn them around with the predominant light to your back (e.g, the sunset). Look at your glasses as an animal with the light at its back might be looking at you. If your glasses show a lot of glare, get some that don't, or consider a screen-mask, or contacts.
