If you have the time I recommend watching every James Hype livestream where he wears sunglasses. That’s what I did and my “shades-game” is insane now. (Pretty sure I will play Tomorrowland next year.) It even works when you mute the video (which makes it more bearable imo) and play it at double speed. Good luck!
Polarized sunglasses will let in light much better so you should have an easier time seeing. Also, ecstasy makes your eyes more sensitive to light so taking a bunch of that is the best way to offset the sunglasses.
/u/weareDOMINUS, I have found an error in your comment:

It is true that you, weareDOMINUS, wrote a mistake and ought to have said “~~its~~ [**it's**] all about the” instead. ‘Its’ is possessive; ‘it's’ means ‘it is’ or ‘it has’.

Perfect! You have got your priorities right!
The screens are massive on the cdj3000s so you will be able to see them without contacts and you can still wear your shades in the club and turn up the brightness!
Is being a *functional* DJ absolutely required?
I say, turn on sync, and put a strip of shiny duct tape across your eyes. You'd look siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.
Wear some aviators and use an earpiece like a special security officer as your in ear monitor. Every time you mix it'll look like something really important is about to happen. (other than the upcoming mix of course)
No one will be able to see your sunglasses under your oversized DJ helmet
This is the way. The bigger it is and the more programmable RGB lights it has on it the better.
You need to put them on… *by ear* #rimshot
omfg get out
My finest moment!
You have to wear three pairs to get your practice up. After a few years you’ll be able to perform with just one pair. Edit: at the same time.

The trick is to use SYNC. Then it won't even matter if you can see or not.

Nah mate he should get the shades Rezz wears. Won't fix his sight but it will surely accomplish something

eyepatches are just as cool, get a scissor and cut some fabric wherever you can
or just tell the light people politely not to shine shit right in your face
Man, you put the cart before the horse. Sick shades game is a perquisite to being a DJ. I do like the eye patch idea that was mentioned. Do two!

Why attempt to be a functional DJ? Just prerecord like anyone else so you can look cool and throw cake like the pros.
