Sunglass Lens FAQs

Polarised sunglasses are useful if you're looking to reduce glare for your kids, which occurs when light bounces off surfaces. These work best in snowy landscapes, on sunny holidays or near water where glare is of real risk. Polarised lenses don't protect eyes any differently than non-polarised lenses.

Opt for original lenses for day-to-day use unless you spend a lot of time around water where you made want to eliminate the risk of glare.
