I am, and yes, it's rough. The only lenses I buy are the UV blockers...if I could get them with a dark tint as well, I'd be happy...it's the intensity in the visible spectrum that's so painful.

If someone were to run in the room and yell "kilt check", rather than look for wayward hands, I'd place a hand on the apron to hold it in place on my leg and check where the hem sits in relation to my knee. It only takes a moment, and it's hardly noticeable...and then adjust waist if necessary (usually it's not necessary). One hand width below the bottom edge of the kneecap for the top of the hose, and I'm ready to step out...easy as that! To those gentle souls who may not be aware of this...if your hem is too low (or high), and your socks are too high, it looks like a skirt...don't do that .
