Polarized Sunglasses

What is the difference between polarized sunglasses and ones that aren’t? Does it have to do with the darkness of the lens?

I am an avid road cycler and tennis player and I was looking for some new sunglasses and the Oakley Half jacket Polarized looked pretty cool. What do you all think of these are they good for an athlete and what is better about Polarized lenses??

Are Costa Del Mar’s worth it? Is there something cheaper that’s nearly as good?

I bought a pair of glasses that has a polarized sun glasses clip on (in other words, I just wear my glasses and the put the magnetic clip on over the glasses to have shades). Since I got this pair of glasses from an eye care center, could I assume that the polarized clip on provides good UV protection? I didn’t think about it when I was buying my glasses because I assumed I could trust that any kind of shades would have good UV protection if I bought them from an eye care center that has about 3 associated optometrists with doctorate degrees

polarized sunglasses work really well in reducing glare from horizontal surfaces (like a lake). how can this be true (in terms of physics?)

What is the difference between polarized sunglasses and regular sunglasses? Like the Under Armour and Oakley ones? I know that they are used for fishing, but can they be used for other sports too?

looking at sunglasses I saw polarized and unpolarized what is the difference

Iam looking for wrap around mens up to 200dollars in price

I WAS LOOKING INTO GETTIN THE COCOON WIDELINE POLARIZED SUNGLASSES FOR FISHING. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THEM AND WHAD COLOR LENSE WOULD BE BEST TO REDUCE GLARE ON THE WATER?? THANKS!!

what are the differences between polarized and not and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

I just recently bought a pair of polarized sunglasses. After wearing them I became extremely dizzy with a pretty nasty headache. It was so severe that I had to sleep it off.
Is this normal for polarized sunglasses? My glasses are not name brand, but they aren’t the cheapest either they were about .00. Let me know if you have to get "use" to wearing them or just to not wear them at all.

I’ve been looking to buy a pair of quality, protective sunglasses lately, but since they cost a good deal of money to me, I don’t want to buy ones I end up not liking. Could someone please help me out in knowing:

1) What does "polarized" mean, exactly?
2) Why can’t I find polarized lenses in black?

I really want a pair with dark black lenses, not gray…

Light polarization that is.

There doesnt seem to be the option of a pair with both features.

Yeah,LSD is acid.Though haven’t done it for many years,it’s not easily forgotten…ask my spine

Are the Oakley Sideways retailed at 5 made with polarized lenses or do i have to add that feature. Do you think that they’re worth buying thanks.
