In Louisiana eyewear and eyeslasses make the person and the show. Eyeglasses are eyewear with frames and lenses worn in front of the eyes for vision correction or protection. Sunglasses provide better vision in bright sunlight, and may protect eyes from damage by ultraviolet light from the sun. Safety glasses are eyewear used at construction sites or by persons working with any materials that may damage the eye. Eyewear such as glasses accessorize a character's personality in an entertainment production, and may even be historical in nature, like the pince-nez or monocle.
