Default $20 sunglasses vs. $200 sunglasses

Ok, you know how in the sporting stores they sell unknown brands of sunglasses for $20? They look just like the famous brands (Oakley) but for a fraction of the price.

Is it true those sunglasses are bad for your eyes? A science prof once told me never let your kid wear $5 sunglasses because they do not contain the proper elements in the lenses. He said they make it seem darker for your eye so that your eye muscles relax and therefore it is very dangerous because the lenses do not block the deadly rays of light.

Is this true or did I misunderstand.

cliff notes: Are $20 sunglasses dangerous for your eyes because they do not contain some elements of safety in the lenses that $200 sunglasses have?

I heard that, too... but I'm also far too broke to afford really "good" sunglasses... so I just don't wear any.

I heard, again from a prof, that hats are bad for your head because with prolonged wear it does not enable the roots of your hair to breathe properly. The result of that will be early baldness. h:

Maybe I should stop going to school.
