Slightly off topic in a way...
I know fluorescent lighting makes me depressed, makes me look ugly in a mirror, makes me anxious/insecure.
Also read a study on the effects of fluorescent lights on mood disorders and depression. Like people spending years in cubicals in office buildings under fluorescent lighting.
Perhaps fluorescent lighting is no replacement for natural light...draining on vitD or just lack of? not sure. I'm sure there is a connection in some way though, cant remember.

> I know this is a strange question,and it would probably take a real expert to answer it.--Since sunlight is important for good moods(less depression etc.)can wearing glasses or contact lenses all the time be bad.Since glasses and contacts BLOCK UV rays from entering the eyes could one benefit by going out in the sun withOUT glasses or contacts in order to be able to absorb UV rays through the eyes.Simply put are UV rays in moderation without being blocked by contacts/glasses good for mental health?I wear contact lenses all the time.
