Been driving professionally for 25+ years and my preference is non polarized, by a long shot. While there are times when driving with polarized lenses are beneficial the mile by mile downsides make it not worth it. The big downside for me is that since polarization is another filter on the lens, less available light will come through the lens. This is a problem while driving on a sunny day while going in and out of shady areas. The shady areas become too dark. It's also a problem on a sunny day when an early or late sun is shining in your face. The polarized filter cuts more of the sun shining on you but then it's harder to see what's right in front of your car. Again it's too dark. Their great when the sun is overhead and there are no shadows to deal with such as buildings or trees. Lesser problems with polarized lens for me are how it's plays with the crack seal that is used for road maintenance. Can make it appear a purple. No thanks. Another issue for me is that since my side windows are tinted, polarized lenses make them harder to see through while casting a slight rainbow of colors. I've stuck with one quality non polarized lens for over a million miles of professional driving. It's a Serengeti 555nm lens. My eyes don't get fatigued while driving all day in the sun and they let enough light through to wear just before the sun rises and after it set and are great on overcast days too. Haven't found anything better.

do you prefer raybans black, grey or B15 or even G15 lenses for driving and which do you think would be best for driving because im thinking something like the aviator classic in the wide 62MM and G15 Lens could be one of the best go tos for driving maybe just overall liveability too.

@@Joey856721 Any of the Ray-Bans I've used (I don't remember which lenses) were too dark. If you're looking for a better driving lens, I can't stress enough to check out the Serengitis 555 lens, imo. It's their gray lens, and not their amber driving lens. Have used them for decades. Just drove this morning with them on just before sunrise. Their great in low light, bright light, shadows and in glaring conditions. I drive in Park City Utah for reference. A high altitude, sunny desert that gets a ton of snow in the winter. That 555 is an all day, everyday lens.

The polarization makes the glasses darker, but that should be properly offset by the glasses tint (less tint for polarized glasses, it's that simple). In the end the translucency of the glasses should always be at a particular, given percentage of the incoming light, regardless of polarization or not. May try some brighter glasses in the first place. I am using polarized glasses for decades when driving, and I vastly prefer them over non polarized ones, particularly in difficult light conditions. They very efficiently remove glare, blinding effects and fuzzy lighting.

As a professional eyewear manufacturer, I'd like to share my perspective on polarized sunglasses. Firstly, polarized lenses are designed to meet the needs of specific scenarios, such as fishing, hiking, driving, and other outdoor activities. When wearing polarized sunglasses, we can better eliminate glare, allowing for clearer vision without being disturbed by reflections. However, as the video creator mentioned, there are certain driving situations where polarized lenses might not accurately render road conditions, potentially leading to misjudgments by the driver and incorrect reactions while driving. Nowadays, during long trips, many people rely on navigation systems. When wearing polarized lenses, it can be difficult to see the screen on a smartphone or in-car navigation system, which can be frustrating. Despite these issues, polarized lenses are generally very suitable for driving. However, there's a significant issue with the affordable polarized sunglasses on the market today: most polarized sunglasses under $80 typically use TAC (Triacetate Cellulose) polarized lenses. The advantage of TAC lenses is that they are inexpensive and lightweight, with manufacturers usually opting for 0.74mm or 1.1mm thicknesses. However, the primary material of TAC lenses tends to shrink and deform easily, and the polarized film is sandwiched between TAC layers using water-soluble glue. If the lenses are exposed to seawater or freshwater for an extended period, they can delaminate, rendering them unusable-a problem many consumers have likely encountered. Additionally, because TAC material is prone to shrinkage, manufacturers tend to cut the lenses larger, which can result in the lenses, particularly the 0.74mm thick ones, being severely compressed when fitted into frames. This compression can alter the optical performance of the lenses, causing the prism and diopter values to exceed industry standards significantly. This is why some people may feel dizzy when wearing polarized sunglasses-it's due to these distortions. Moreover, due to a lack of professionalism among some manufacturers, the polarization axis is not always properly aligned during the cutting process. If the polarization axis of the two lenses in a pair of sunglasses is not aligned correctly, it can reduce the effectiveness of the polarization and cause significant discomfort to the wearer. This issue is often found in cheaper polarized sunglasses. On the other hand, materials like CR39, nylon, or glass have much better optical performance compared to TAC lenses, which is why designer brands never use TAC. If polarized lenses are needed, they typically use CR39, nylon, or glass polarized lenses. There's also PC (polycarbonate) polarized lenses, though these are generally used in sports eyewear. Due to cost considerations, most polarized sunglasses under $80 opt for TAC lenses. If you’re considering polarized sunglasses under $40, I recommend avoiding them because the quality of TAC lenses in this price range often comes with many issues from production. So, if you're looking for daily wear and are more focused on fashion and sun protection, non-polarized sunglasses are an excellent choice. However, if you need sunglasses for functional purposes such as fishing or hiking, I recommend choosing polarized sunglasses.

I guess if I were an lcd screen addict then non polarized might make sense but I think people are missing a point. Most sunglasses, whether polarized or not, are too dark to read phone screens while outside in bright sun. Also I can see my screens just fine with polarized lenses because most screens aren’t polarized vertically these days. Further, if those lcd screens are that big a deal to you, Revo polarized lenses are fine for these screens. As far as driving? Well if you like seeing the reflections on the inside of your windshield go for it. The only advantage I see in non polarized is the ability to be a one piece lens as opposed to sandwich construction Cheers

Biggest pro of polarized for me is limitation of inside-lens glare. Unless you're wearing an ugly pair of wraparounds, light will reflect the image of your own face and eyes on the inside of your lenses when the sun is at certain angles. This effect is reduced when wearing the polarized version of the same glasses. Also, being able to see better through the windshields of other cars so you can see what other drivers are paying attention to, or not paying attention to, is also a plus.
@ShadeReview
@ShadeReview 11 ай бұрын
The sunglass lenses, reducing reflections on the inside of the lens actually has nothing to do with the polarization. Now I can totally understand why you would come to that conclusion when you are comparing a pair of non-polarized ray ban sunglasses against a pair of polarized ones. And that’s because Rayban adds a better anti-reflective material on the backside of their polarized lenses they also add oleophobic coatings to their polarized lenses as well. Those two coatings have nothing to do with the actual polarizer filter on the lens!

I think it depends on the style of glasses too. I have Ray Ban aviators that aren't polarized and those things get massive glare quite often. I think it's because the frame is so small and the lense so big that light is able to hit the inside of the lens more than it normally would. If I was going to get another pair of aviators I would definitely go polarized. As for a normal thicker plastic wayfarer-esque pair of glasses I dont think polarization would matter as much.

I think it really depends on the activity. My driving glasses are polarized since I like to not have the glare off other cars windows. Also when pumping gas I know the station has a roof for shade so I just take the sunglasses off. They are also nice for walks along the river or fishing. I definitely would want them when going to the ocean since a lot of glare comes off of the water and even the sand. The sand is also true for in the winter when it’s snowy and you want the extra glare protection. I do however also have non polarized sunglasses which are good for when I know I will be in and out of doors often or using technology that I know will not work well with the polarized glasses. All this said when it comes to sunglasses one option is not for everybody. If it was Shade Review would have just one review of the one frame everyone should get.

On the water, you pretty much always want polarized. I'm under the impression that snow glare isn't so uniformly polarized so you just need to use tinting to reduce it, and polarization can make it harder to see ice on the road, for example. Most ski goggles also aren't polarized. A few are, but I think they do a sort of half polarization, where the polarizer isn't so opaque.

I agree. I just got a new pair of prescription sunglasses and opted for polarised to see what all the fuss was about. I was super excited and from what I'd read I was expecting clearer crisper vision but I found the opposite to be true. I was super disappointed as everyone seems to love them and I wanted to as well! For me the polarised lenses made everything seem strangley artificial and over-darkened and the colours were distorted and they didn't provide the crisp natural image I enjoy with my non polarised lenses. The polarised lenses created a strange uncomfortable feeling in my vision where an element of natural light was missing and that made things less clear for me. I'm sure they are amazing for those times where there is a large amount of glare such as near on on a body of water or damp roads when the sun is bright but for the majority of the time non polarised feel like they give me a much comfortable overall vision experience. I think going forward I will be using non polarised for my daily usage and have a pair of polarised for those uncommonly bright refractive environments. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't love the polarised effect!

Polarized sunglasses only protect you from horizontal glare. Light that gets reflected off of horizontal surfaces has horizontal waves that can shine in ur eyes and be annoying. So if youre fishing or anywhere that theres a horizontal reflective surface, then yea polarized sunglasses are amazing. They have a ton of horizontal microscopic lines running across them which is what causes the lcd screen distortion since those screens rely on a perpendicular grid of tiny lights

Has anyone actually crashed or come close from wearing polarized sunglasses? Just curious. I drive a lot myself and it's never been a concern.

Non-polarized tints are richer. Randolph AGX is certainly greener without polarization. I do prefer my Maui Jims on sunny beach days, tho. Or on a sunny day after a rain.

Absolutely! Thats something I accidentally edited out of video you also have a more crisp lens with none polar vs polar because it’s a single lens instead of two lenses sandwiched against each other with the polarizer filter which makes them less sharp

Yeah. Go and try it out what fits you best. It depends on so many factors that only you can decide after trying. Or buy 2 cheaper glasses to test long time. And then get your perfect pair if you know. Or if you can afford buy 2 great pairs. One with and one without polarization. But I mostly prefer polarized, esp. for driving I love my glasses with Transition Drivewear lenses.

Polarized are way better for cutting glare. It all depends on your usage. Often non-polarized are fine but for long spells of time in high albedo areas where there’s a lot of glare then they’re way better. I can’t imagine spending a day on the water without polarized glasses. If you’re fishing you can see better into the water.

Polarized sunglasses effectively cuts out all glare reflected onto your windshield from the dashboard, as well as glare from the road surfaces, and cuts down significantly on glare reflected off shiny chrome bumpers from pickemup trucks or other vehicles. I'll never go back to non-polarized sunglasses for driving. Just look at the other comments, especially the one viewer from South Florida. I'm in Michigan and the polarized lenses are a huge benefit driving under bright sunny conditions. A lot of the more modern displays from phones and touch screens are now compatible with polarized sunglasses. For outdoor activities, I kind of prefer non-polarized. Also not many, if any, MIL-PRF rated ballistic lenses are polarized. I contacted one of the OEMs about this and they said it had to do with the manufacturing process. If you look at a MIL-PRF Oakley M Frame lens and compare its thickness to a regular Oakley lens, it is fairly dramatic.

i hate the shape of rayban aviators they have like an oval shape to them that doesn't fit me. i went on their website and they have a caravan style that would maybe fit me but the frame and temple look dumb all i want is a rayban aviator style with just less of an oval shape more of a bottom square shape but only slightly.

I have both polarised and non polarised. Personally i think polarised is a gimmick. I have 4 pairs of Oakleys costing over £100 each, two of which are polarized and tbh i cant tell the difference. Im wearing my Plasma non polarised atm and they are great in low light. People say non polarised can strain your eyes but wearing sunglasses too long can! The best lenses are the ones in your eyes! Its important to take them off and let your eyes breathe. Companies jave known for ages that they can double the price of glasses just by etching the polarised tag on them!

If you don't find the difference, then you don't know what to look for... Or are looking matt grey wall/overcast sky. Even if there are no specular reflection giving surfaces, blue sky is enough for telling which sunglasses are polarized and which are not. And lenses of human eye are far from optically good: Even persons not needing glasses have some degree of astigmatism etc aberrations. That outer area of the lens just isn't normally used except in dark/really low light when pupil dilates. (there's also literal blind spot in the eye, but brain hides that flaw with data from other eye)

This seems a bit disingenuous here. You have to hold the lens a certain way for this to happen. I highly doubt people are twisting their heads into awkward positions to let this happen Just by wearing polarized lenz I only noticed the effect on screens a handful of times.

It's down to personal conveniences and situations. I switch beetween 3 pairs of glasses which are all fantastic and equally essential to me: 1/ oakley sapphire Prizm Polarised (water conditions or driving on very sunny days). 2/ Julbo renagade photochromic (2-3) glare control glare control (ie semi-polarised). Everyday and sea on clowdy days. Amazing in the way they do not alter the actual picture as the oakley prizm do , they just protect. 3/ Julbo shiel 2-4 (non polarised). Sports (except for water sports where I use the Oakleys) and extreme sunny days or snow because they move to the category 4 protection, quite dark but soooo useful in extreme conditions. Life is about compromise.😊 when you only have sunglasses issues, you don't have much issues do you!!!🎉

People complaining about how they can't live without polarization. You folks must be staring at every singe glare like a deer staring at headlights. How about looking away from the glare and look at other parts of your view that is clear? So you wouldn't be blinded and still do what you need to do. GREAT video BTW!

I have a serious visual disability and generally prefer polarised to minimise glare and it seems to help depth perception. I certainly prefer the price of non polorised! However, have you ever looked at Vuanet? I have a pair of Legend 06 as worn by Daniel Craig in NO Time To Die. The Brown Lynx lenses are amazing and I don't believe they are Polorised. After seeing your review of the RB4330 CH I've bought a pair as featured, overall very pleased, blur mirror but finfn the lense more green looking through it. Beats the G15 easily.

I became so used to polorized sunglasses that sometimes i forget other people cant see what i see. I point things to people when traveling and they just say... What are you talking about we cant see what your seeing. Sometimes there is that akward moment that they think i am imagining things lol. I have to give them my glasses so they Will see. They always say wow and totally stunned. Its like a window to another world. That being said, sometimes i just use my none polorized glasses so i Will see less. (So i wont be distracted by unusual things thatI can notice with polarized glasses)
