Default Avalon 7539 Sunglasses Darkness Test

I never really thought about how dark the tint should be in a pair of sunglasses. I found an article that gives a simple test to determine if your sunglasses are dark enough. It said that if you're in bright light, such as full sunlight, your eyes should be just barely visible through the tinted lenses.
The question is, should the person who's looking at you and trying to see your eyes be wearing sunglasses?

That's a good question, Wendy. If your standing near enough to a person that they could look for your eyes through your sunglasses, that means they're out in the bright sun also. So that means they should probably be wearing sunglasses too. So, would their sunglasses prevent them from performing this test?


Hmmmm . . . (strokes chin thoughtfully).
