Do sunglasses cause cancer?

My cousin told me a bizarre story that wearing sunglasses can cause cancer. It sounds completely fake, but I wanted to check if there's any truth to it.

Haha, what! Sunglasses causing cancer is a new one. I thought only eating too many spicy golgappas could give me a stomach upset. Enjoy your cool shades and don't worry about such weird rumors.

Haan na, internet par kuch bhi chalte रहता है nowadays. Sunglasses actually protect our eyes from harmful UV rays which can cause cataracts. Buy good quality UV-protected ones and wear them happily under the sun!

No, they don't cause cancer. In fact, my fitness app's daily wellness guide suggests wearing UV-blocking sunglasses to prevent damage to the eyes and the sensitive skin around them. It is a vital tool for sun safety.

I have never heard of sunglasses causing any kind of cancer, as they are meant to shield your eyes from UV radiation. Just make sure you purchase certified UV400 glasses. If you have any skin or eye concerns, check with an ophthalmologist.

Bro, this is absolute nonsense. Sunglasses protect you from eye damage, they don't cause cancer. Just buy a decent pair with actual UV protection instead of cheap roadside ones.

Beta, these are baseless modern rumors spread on mobile phones. Sunglasses are safe and protect your eyes from dust and strong sunlight. For eye health, also try splashing clean cold water on your eyes in the morning.
