Sunglasses and UV-blocking clothes.

With the first I discovered that I have a high sensitivity to light, now I can see much more during the day.

And the second is very useful, protecting me from sun without the need to worry about sunscreen (except for the face)

Most clothing is UV blocking. That’s why farmers tans exist.

Not as much as you would think, and especially less nowadays with companies cheapening out on quality.

The uv radiation permeates the fibres, even when there aren't holes that aren't supposed to be there. It's dependent on the thickness of the weave. Fun new fear to unlock. https://www.solbari.com.au/blogs/solbari-blog/can-uv-go-through-clothes
