I don’t mean on the holodeck, shore leave, or when transported to the past and needing to fit in.

Seems like if you’re on an away mission to, say, a desert planet, sunglasses might be useful. I don’t recall anything wearing them.

    To a degree. Not all species need them, and it might not be considered necessary. Particularly since it adds the risk of you losing them, and inadvertently causing a violation of the Prime Directive.

    Species like Vulcans have innate defences that are just as good, if not better than 21st century sunglasses, and they may rely on those instead.
