Reason No. 4: Yours Aren’t Polarized
If you’re ever around glare coming off water, ice, or a long ribbon of highway, you want the oh-so-soothing effect of polarized sunglasses. Polarization acts likes mini blinds within your sunglasses to cut glare and give your eyes a well-needed rest. Naturally, there’s cheap polarization (basically, glued onto the lenses where it easily scratches off) and good polarization, which uses high-quality film embedded into the lenses. Good polarization adds to the cost of sunglasses. Meaning: Cheap polarized sunglasses are really cheap. Don’t bother.
