Sunglasses are worn where you’re outdoors and exposed to sun glare, wind, and spray—primarily on the weather deck. On the topside, they protect your eyes from UV and reduce glare so you can see more clearly while performing tasks in bright conditions. In enclosed spaces like below deck, the engine room, or even when you’re working in dim lighting on the bridge, sunglasses can hinder vision, obscure alarms or gauges, and slow your reaction if something needs your immediate attention. Because of that, sunglasses are designated for topside use only: they protect you outside where glare is a real issue, while indoors or in confined spaces you should remove them to maintain clear, accurate vision.
