First off — you are absolutely not dumb! Managing wet AMD is a learning curve, and the fact that you're asking now is what matters. 🙌

Glare sensitivity is very common with wet AMD, and protecting your eyes from harsh light — both indoors and outdoors — can make a real difference in comfort and vision quality. myAMDteam members have shared some helpful real-world tips about sunglasses:

- Lightly tinted sunglasses are a popular choice for everyday use
- Wearing sunglasses outside, including while driving, is commonly recommended
- One myAMDteam member added side panels to their sunglasses to block light coming in from the edges — a smart move if side-glare is an issue for you

As for specific brands, that's really a personal preference, and your eye care provider is the best person to guide you toward the right lens type and tint for your specific vision needs. They can also flag if your light sensitivity needs closer attention.
