Polarized Clip-Ons vs. Regular Clip-Ons: Which Should You Choose?
Clip-on sunglasses are a game-changer, but there’s one big decision to make: should you go for polarized lenses or regular tinted ones? Let’s compare the two so you can choose wisely.
1. What Does ‘Polarized’ Mean?
-
How polarization works - filters out horizontal light waves.
-
Why this matters for glare. This vastly reduces glare and for me is the best sunglasses lens type out there.
2. Benefits of Polarized Clip-Ons
-
Safer driving.
-
Clearer vision during outdoor sports.
-
Better eye comfort on sunny days.
3. Pros & Cons of Regular Clip-Ons
-
Pros: Cheaper, lighter.
-
Cons: Less glare reduction.
4. When to Choose Each Type
-
Choose Polarized if you drive often, fish, or spend time near water/snow.
-
Choose Regular if you’re on a budget or mostly need them for short outdoor walks.
