Are you struggling to choose gradient lens sunglasses or polarized sunglasses？What is the difference between polarized vs gradient sunglasses? Today, we will compare these two sunglasses in detail to help select your go-to sunglasses.
Gradient lens sunglasses are typically designed to gradually darken from the top to the bottom of the lens. The upper part is darker, effectively blocking intense sunlight, while the lower part is lighter, allowing more light to enter and ensuring a clear view in low-light conditions.
Gradient sunglasses for men
DEMETER C5 Gradient sunglasses have an adjustable nose pad, which makes them best for high nose bridge or big nose men or women. Also, the blue sunglasses evaluate your look with the sleek, thin frames. DEMETER is crafted with excellence for a try.
WHISKER Pink Gradient sunglasses also have an adjustable nose pad, which makes them best-fitting for high nose bridge/big nose or low nose bridge women, such as Aisan.
Pros:
1. Versatile for multiple scenarios: The gradient lens design provides excellent shielding in strong sunlight, especially blocking more glare from overhead. In a normal environment, things are brighter above (sky & sun) than below, where you’re seeing sidewalks, car dashes, phone screens, etc. Additionally, polarized lenses may be too dark in some settings
2. Fashion design: Gradient lenses usually give an elegant and refined impression, especially appealing to travelers who pursue fashion and desire their sunglasses to match their outfits harmoniously. Gradient lenses are also hit in the 70s sunglasses trend, always being Elton John's favorites.
3. Less expensive: Gradient lenses cost less compared to high-quality polarized sunglasses.
Cons:
Limited use in sports or outdoors.
Unsuitable for intense sunlight.
Reduced protection on the lower half of the lens.
Polarized sunglasses block horizontally polarized light waves using a special chemical film that aligns light waves to a single vertical plane, reducing glare from surfaces like water, pavement, or snow.
Pros:
1. Reduce glare: reduce the reflected light from light-reflective surfaces, greatly reducing eye fatigue, especially suitable for outdoor activities and water sports.
High-glare environment: beaches and ski resorts.
Intense sunlight countries: Greece, Spain, Australia, Mexico, the Middle East, and Africa.
2. Improve visual clarity: As the polarized sunglasses can effectively filter the interfering light, they provide a clearer visual effect than the ordinary lens, especially in the strong light or multi-reflection environment, and the field of view will be sharper.
3. Reduce eye fatigue: Wearing green polarized sunglasses can effectively reduce eye fatigue caused by strong reflection; long-term wear will not cause discomfort, suitable for long-time outdoor activities. Polarized sunglasses could perform the best to protect the eye health.
4. Ideal for driving: Polarized sunglasses are particularly suitable for long drives. They effectively block the reflection of the front car and provide a clear view of the road.
Cons:
Difficulty in reading LCD screens
Polarized sunglasses block horizontally polarized light to reduce glare, but LCD screens also emit polarized light. When the polarization of the sunglasses and screen misaligns (often at 90°), the light from the screen is partially or completely blocked, making it hard to see. This effect is common with devices like phones, car dashboards, and ATMs, especially at certain angles.
More expensive
High-quality polarized lenses are generally more expensive than gradient lenses due to their advanced technology for coating.
