Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if sunglasses are polarized?
If you’re not sure if your sunglasses are polarized, there are a few ways to test them out. Put them on and look at a reflective surface in bright conditions (such as water, glass, or the road). Tilt your head sideways and note whether the quality of the light changes or becomes more intense. If it does, you have polarized sun lenses. You can also slide on your sunglasses and look at an LED or LCD screen. Tilt your head and note whether the display turns black – if it does, you are wearing polarized sunglasses.
Are polarized lenses better than normal sunglasses?
Yes, polarized lenses allow your eyes to relax more and provide better vision than normal sunglasses in virtually all cases, especially conditions where glare is present, making them a better option for people who enjoy water and snow sports. There are some exceptions, such as when contra-indicated (e.g. when flying a plane) or when looking at digital screens. When it comes to general, everyday wear, polarized sunglasses improve your visual clarity, contrast, and acuity in bright conditions, perfect for eliminating glare and relieving eye strain.
Which polarized lens colour is best for driving?
Dark coloured polarized lenses are good for driving, with brown being the most popular choice. In some instances, it’s normal to notice a rainbow effect on car windshields and LCD screens every now and then.
Can mirrored sunglasses be polarized?
Yes – we offer polarized sun lenses with a mirrored tint. Explore our range of sunglasses colours and tints.
