Hi All.

I've found thru personal experience that taking Vitamin A enables my 
eyes to handle most exposure to sunlight and glare. I've taken 10,000 IU 
daily for 30+ years and this _works for me._  However I use sunglasses 
in some cases such as hiking over snow. If you are interested I suggest 
your try this around home first.

I know there are many authorities who say that excess Vitamin A is 
toxic.  So use your own judgement.

My eyes are more light-sensitive than most, and I sometimes found that putting clip-on shades on regular glasses wasn't sufficient.  But now that I have the transitional type I've rarely had that problem.
