A pair of sunglasses is an essential accessory when travelling in the blinding summer sun. There is a wide range of sunglasses on the market. Photochromic lenses and polarised lenses are popular with consumers for their unique features and applicability, and each of these two lens types has its own merits in protecting the eyes and enhancing the visual experience. So how should we choose? In this article, we will compare photochromic lenses and polarised lenses in detail and give you some buying advice.
Photochromic lenses: the “magic” of light adaptation
The chemicals in photochromic lenses change chemically when exposed to light, making the lenses darker in colour, effectively blocking UV rays and reducing glare to protect your eyes from damage. Indoors or in low light conditions, the lenses gradually return to their transparent state, providing clear and comfortable vision.
Polarised lenses: the "filter" of light.
Polarized lenses have a unique polarized structure, like a "filter", that filters light in the horizontal direction, effectively eliminating glare reflected from water, oiled roads, building surfaces, etc., making vision clearer and smoother, and the colours we see more vivid.
Purchase recommendations
Choose according to your personal needs:
If you need to move frequently between indoor and outdoor environments, photochromic lenses are a better choice. They automatically adjust to changes in light and eliminate the need for frequent lens changes, which is both comfortable and practical.
If your main activity is outdoors, such as driving, fishing, skiing, etc., polarised lenses are a better choice. They filter out reflected light and improve visual clarity, while providing strong UV protection.
Choose according to your budget:
