Probably not too much.. but that's not my professional opinion. It's 
the same thing with the (mainly older and cheaper) sun glasses without 
U/V filters. Your pupils will be dilated because of the dimmed light, 
but the U/V rays go straight through the cheap plastic, and hurt your 
eyes in some, for me, unknown way (mutations?  Maybe you can get x-ray 
vision that way :-p).
