What Are The Differences Between These Types of Sunglasses and Ordinary Sunglasses?
Polarizer
Polarizers can reduce glare and are used for horizontal roads, water surfaces, ice surfaces, and snow. It can be worn while driving, skiing, water skiing, or cycling. For patients who have undergone cataract surgery and elderly people who are sensitive to light, choosing polarized sunglasses can also improve visual comfort. In addition, wearing polarizing glasses while driving can broaden the field of view, but it may be difficult to see the digital displays such as LED screens, GPS, and phone screens inside the car clearly. Color recommendations: yellow, brown, green, can filter blue light.
Polarized sunglasses cannot be used for flying. For certain sports, such as playing golf, polarized sunglasses may cause some visual information loss, affecting performance.
Photochromic glasses
Color changing glasses are usually sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, and the lens color darkens or lightens with changes in light intensity. For people who already wear glasses, color changing glasses are more convenient and comfortable to use indoors and outdoors. But when changing environments, it cannot immediately change color. The color change reaction occurs slower in cold weather, and the car windshield can also interfere with the color change of glasses. Color changing glasses cannot completely replace sunglasses. They may not appear dark enough in strong light environments such as beaches and snow, and cannot provide sufficient visual comfort.
Reflective mirror sunglasses
There are various colors of mirror reflective coatings, which are determined by the thickness and structure of the coating, while the lens color seen by the wearer is generally brown or gray. Reflective coating can reduce the amount of light passing through the lens by 10% to 60%, making it very suitable for high light environments such as deserts, snow, and high-altitude areas. It is popular in extreme sports.
Additional tips
Sunglasses worn during exercise require special design, with anti slip nose pads for a more secure fit, and wrap around frames to block reflected light from the sides.
The color of baby sunglasses can be chosen from brown or gray. Gray lenses provide a more natural visual quality, while brown lenses can help filter out short wavelength blue light that is harmful to eye health.
