Comments on How to Choose Sunglasses

I've sold sunglasses for over 15 years. Polarized sunglasses are the best choice since they block reflected glare as well as direct sunlight glare. Try to find brands that produce their glass lenses with a tinted front wafer (lens). those lenses will block more HEV (Hi energy visible) light or Blue Light and provide sharper vision and better glare protection from direct and reflected glare. Glass lenses provide better protection and visual acuity than plastic lenses. Avoid acrylic lenses; they're used in cheap sunglasses. Also avoid designer brands, most likely you're paying for the label. Typically they use standard CR39 lenses which provide minimal protection for twice the cost. In my opinion, the best brand for the money is Reptile. Maui Jim is excellent but a lot more expensive and not any better.
