    Sunglasses and UV-blocking clothes.

    With the first I discovered that I have a high sensitivity to light, now I can see much more during the day.

    And the second is very useful, protecting me from sun without the need to worry about sunscreen (except for the face)

        Do not trust that close to the equator. It will not work.

          I live at high altitude where the UV is stronger than anywhere else. Clothing still works. Heck, even a light shawl works.

        Not as much as you would think, and especially less nowadays with companies cheapening out on quality.

      I have the same issue with light, had prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses, and had to switch between the two frequently. Finally got prescription transitions and they’re incredible, I no longer have to think about my glasses at all. Just put them on and go.
