some would literally come my consulting room crying because its a sunny day and would ask what's wrong thinking they are sad because of perhaps some pain they are going through, then they would tell me they are fine but the tears, well they just can't help it.

Again, 100% me! Embarrassing! Trying to avoid people, cos I knew they would see the tears but they wouldn't ask anything, and who knows what they would think!

It quite unfortunate the glasses weren't solving your problem completely but i am certain it helped?

Yes it definitely helped. It's just some summer days in Cyprus are so explosively bright that the light seems to come in through the sides, or in some way indirectly affect the eyes, dunno how to describe it! And yeah definitely at school the main problem was that the sunglasses weren't allowed.

Thanks for the article and response!
