Survival Sunglasses
by John Williams
Highly reflective sunglasses (motorcycle police type) have major survival
advantages. They can be obtained in both prescription and non-prescription
form in any style. In fact, you can have existing glasses (not with plastic
lenses) coated for about $10. (a little more today: ed.) Silver is the most
popular coating but there are also blue, tan, pink, etc. The basis of this
article is my own experience with reflective sunglasses and those of others
I have interviewed. The following survival advantages are possible:
1. DEALING WITH UNDESIRABLES: Particularly bureaucrats and other scum.
Gives the impression that you are a psychopathic killer and prevents your
eyes from being read.
2. DAY TO DAY AFFAIRS: Highly reflective glasses give the impression of
toughness, meanness, or authority. They keep people from reading your
emotions or second guessing your next moves. Also, very important, they
permit you to see behind you like wearing rear view mirrors. You can
observe an impending threat and not give yourself away until you are ready
to react.
3. OTHER ADVANTAGES: They provide good eye protection. They alter your
appearance substantially to mislead potential witnesses. However, highly
reflective glasses do have some disadvantages:
1. They may be too dark for night, indoor or cloudy day use. You also lose
some color perception.
2. They reflect a lot of stray light from behind and above into your eyes,
which can be distracting - even blinding. They may not be satisfactory
where there are a lot of street lights and lighted signs. The closer to the
head, the more the stray light is reduced. You definitely should practice
wearing them in environments that you frequent before depending on them for
a survival edge.
