It gives you a false sense of security and whereas squinting might have helped keep the direct light out of your eyes, sunglasses cause you to relax and leave your eyes wide open.

The dark tint means your eyes are open wider, and are in fact letting more UVA and UVB rays into your eyes as a result! Decent sunglasses are a must. Cheap ones can actually harm your eyes.
