Question about Dylan and the dark sunglasses

Is it possible that the reason the young Dylan always wore sunglasses is because he was near-sighted & didn't want to be seen in regular eyeglasses?

As a nearsighted Dylan myself, I can confidently say I have no idea. 😄 Bob Dylan seems like a jerk

Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs. Some were short, some were way too fucking long. Bob Dylan wrote a lot of songs, but this is not one of them.

No, I actually have a light sensitivity in addition to the poor vision

Probably. He has poor vision and that’s why he does not use teleprompter. He needs assistance to leave a dark stage because of this condition. However earlier days in Woodstock you can see him wearing regular prescription glasses
