No pro-photographers I know shoots with sunglasses on . We look for the fastest lenses and biggest viewfinders just to see the brightest images we can get. So then someone hires a model to convince everyone - I'm a sexy nature photographer and if you want to shoot video like me, you need these cool glasses. Boooogus!

This advert singularly fails to point out that although theses miracle lenses do indeed react to varying light levels, they will still be black as midnight up ten minutres after you popped out for a crafty fag; therefore passively grassing you up to your boss and making you look like Roy Orbison.

The whole scenario is contrived to the point of inducing nausea. Advertisers: Just show the damn product and spare us all the bullshit premise that your product makes it possible for a visually-impaired person to shoot wildlife on the plains of Africa. It's not that difficult to switch on a pair of sunglasses.

My glasses make me look far more intellegent and astute than I look without them, also not everyone can afford corrective surgery - the price quoted on the adverts is usually for those who only need a really weak pair of glasses, if they are like my eyes then you are looking at over £1000 per eye. Also there are a number of possible side effects from having the surgery, and you cannot have it until your eyes are fully developed (18 or 21 depending on surgery). So I don't think the glasses market is dead yet. However, I agree with silky that Transitions lenses make you look a cock (usually by the way they look like shades until you have been a good ten minutes out of the sun, by which time everyone in the room has clocked you wearing what look like shades).
