If one is wearing dark black sunglasses, then how will eye contact work?
Sharingan user won't be able to tell when he has eye contact? I haven't
finished shippuden yet, so may be answer lies ahead but I am curious.

Can wearing sunglasses prevent sharingan?


The only known way to avoid the effects of the _Sharingan_ have been to avert
or completely cover one's eyes, or at least be able to block out the
vision/chakra reach of the technique. However, it's not necessarily the case
that just doing that alone will help.

Given that the _Sharingan_ 's main strength are powerful _genjutsu_ (illusion
tactics), it's well within the realm of experienced/expert _Sharingan_ users
to be able to control more senses than just vision, and thus, averting eyes
alone isn't quite enough to protect from the illusions. I don't think
sunglasses would help - you can still see through them, after all, so you
would be able to have your vision compromised just as if you weren't wearing
any.

Since you're still getting through the series, I won't spoil anything for you,
but the fact that averting eyes isn't enough to avoid the powerful _genjutsu_
produced by it plays a pivotal role towards the end of the series.

The abilities provided by Sharingan are not just limited to the eye-contact
between user and the opponent.

Although one of the formidable abilities provided by Sharingan( _Genjutsu_ )
is shown in the manga/anime to happen through eye-contact, there are still
many other ways to cast Genjutsu.

In fact a skilled Genjutsu user can use different body parts or things to cast
Genjutsu.

Spoiler Ahead !!

> 1\. **Itachi Uchiha can cast Genjutsu just by using his fingers** \- [Naruto
> Chapter - 259]  
>  2\. **Jiraya uses frog’s croak to trap Pain in Genjutsu** \- [Naruto
> Chapter - 379 ]

So answering your question by slightly reframing it,

> **_Can wearing sunglasses prevent the victim from Genjutsu?_**

Conditions:

**1\. Genjutsu is based on eye-contact:** Yes, if the opponent restrains
himself or somehow blocks the Genjutsu caster from having the eye-contact, he
can protect himself from being caught in Genjutsu.

**2\. Genjutsu is not based on eye-contact** No, this time, since the medium
of Genjutsu is not through eye-contact, the opponent can't prevent himself
from falling in Genjutsu just by avoiding eye-contact.

No, wearing sunglasses does not prevent falling to a visual genjutsu, as seen
in
