Finding the Best Polarized Sunglasses for Men
Arm your eyes with optimal protection against glare while improving definition and clarity in polarized sunglasses. Choosing from our curated edit of best polarized sunglasses for men means you can quit squinting at shiny cars or reflective surfaces like water and snow.
What are Polarized Sunglasses?
Polarized sunglasses are shades with a specific lens coating that blocks horizontal light waves, allowing only vertical (non-glare) lightwaves to pass through. These not only kick blinding light from reflective surfaces to the curb (which also reduces eye fatigue), they improve color clarity and definition. Just right for driving, water and snow adventures, and anything outdoors. Essentially, polarization is your ticket to exceptional vision.
How Do I Tell If Sunglasses are Polarized?
Other than when a pair of sunnies are marked as polarized, like our polarized-specific collection, you can easily determine if sunglasses are polarized by checking a couple things. Put on your shades and have a look at a digital screen like your phone. If the screen appears darker when you tilt your head sideways, that’s a good indicator of polarization. Some UV filters on car windows appear with a rainbow-like appearance too. You can also put them to the glare test by comparing looking through your sunglasses at water or something reflective outside to looking at the same area without them. If you notice significantly reduced glare, then ta-da! Polarization. If you’re not sure, you can bring your sunglasses to an eyewear specialist and they can tell you if they're polarized.
