Sunglasses
- Thread starter Solar
- Start date
Well, glass already effectively blocks UVB, and windshields are specially treated to block UVA (which is why those sunglasses that automatically lighten and darken are useless behind a windshield). Side and rear windows aren't treated to block UVA though So when driving into the sun, the main concern is reducing the glare rather than protecting your eyes from UV radiation.

FWIW - I currently just use my lightly tinted prescription glasses and the sunvisor ....
I am looking into buying that flip down shield they advertise on TV ( I have a cheap flip down smoke tinted plastic visor extension that well to work well BUT I want UV protection too).
I may look into prescription sunglasses like the arctic explorers wear (side shields) and basically conform all around to block out extraneous light.
My windows are factory tinted and I had extra tint added to the passenger and driver windows (an an extra band across the top of the windshield (in VA its legal so long as you get a medical waiver which is easy to get ...just tell them you don't want to get sunburned from driving all day).

Maui Jim’s. Mainly any glasses with polarizer will help with glare. Since I wear glasses for a full driving shift comfort is most important for me. So typically I’ll spend top dollar for quality glasses, night and day ones

I wear glasses so I use "fit over" sunglasses. They're polarized. Front and side. They are sold at Wal-Mart for about $20. Dollar Tree also sells a similar style, but not the same for a dollar.
FYI
Pilot/Flying J has $5 off their Foster Grant sunglasses, and the Pilot/Flying J App is giving another $5 off, so you can get a pretty nice quality pair of polarized glasses for $10 or less.
Sale goes off I believe day after tomorrow.
