I found this explaination of why people who live in L.A. wear sunglasses all the time on Television Without Pity (you must go check it out immediately if you haven't been there already), and I thought it was really funny:
"Actually, we're wearing sunglasses. And it's because the sun is crazy bright out here. The air is so filthy that the sun bounces off all the little smog particles in the air and it hurts to have your eyes open because the air is filled with crap and the sun is glinting off every single molecule around you and if you don’t wear sunglasses and take Claritin on the hour you can't even open your puffy, watery eyes."

There may be a bit of truth to that. It is often VERY sunny, and I kinda understand see the smog particle thing. However, that might just be a bunch of bullshit. There's a lot of that in CA, in addition to the smog. And the brightness is nothing compared to a sunny day after a snowstorm.
