Polarized Sunglasses

Yep, its all about style. Sunglasses is a fashion must. I was in Quiksilver with my buddy and he asked me what are the differences between the normal and polarized sunglasses coz i was specifically looking for a polarized ones. What are the differences between Polarized and normal sunglasses? here are some points.

Polarized
1. for driving and, in fact, it can reduce glare from a long, flat surface such as the hood of the car or the road's surface.
2.
Polarized sunglasses can also be used indoors by light-sensitive people
3.
polarized photochromic lenses, which change from dark outside to light inside, are right for the light-sensitive person who changes environments frequently
4. reduce reflected glare from the water (see water, clouds, strains of lights, looks clearer)
5. good for sports activity, skiing, golfing, boat riding and others that need good vision.

Normal
1. usually only have UV protection
2. do not reduce glare and sometimes make glare worse
3. more of a fashion statement

So the next time you would like to buy a pair of sunglasses try to invest more and get ones that are polarized. It might cost a bit extra but its a better option for performance.
