I too have the questions and the stares from people and the sunglass
comments ,

i am going to a very dark tint soon as i get them and if people stare it
will be hard but i think at least i can see who cares but i do speak up

and tell them or ask i should say to please not stare if you want to know
why i wear dark glasses all you need to do is ask.

after all it isn't every one who can wear the colors we do.
