P.S. A hat or visor may also help at work. My son wear a visor or cap at
school. (His high school allows all students to wear caps, but that is
unusual. Students in schools where hats are banned can get an exception with
an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) or a (Rehab Act) 504 plan. Or for
kids who don't want to be different: students can learn to tuck their
reading materials close to them and shade their eyes with their hand to
create some shade. One clever teen always wore hooded sweat shirts and
created shade by fanning out her hood on each side of her neck and bending
over her reading materials/writing assignment. :)
