To meet the demands of the casual and competitive sportsperson, much research and development has been done by the sunwear manufacturers as to how they can create the best sunglasses for the most people. The results: lightweight, flexible and durable materials, no-slip components that do not fail in the heat of the moment, and of course lenses, lenses, lenses.

UV Protection

Your sunglasses should block 98.5 percent of UV-A rays. They should also block at least 99 percent of UV-B

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses reduce glare, making them the best lenses you can buy for your sunglasses. Polarized lenses come many colors and can be combined with other coatings, like front mirrors and rear anti-reflective coatings, in your prescription, to give you the ultimate sunglass lens.

Mirror Lenses

Mirrored lenses reduce the amount of light that reaches your eyes, so they can provide extra comfort in strong glare conditions. Mirrors can be semi-opaque or opaque from the front, so other people can see your eyes a little, or not at all.

Photochromic Lenses

These are the lenses that darken when you go outside and lighten when you go inside and that is the key work, outside. Due to the properties on the new car windshields, photochromic lenses are of minimal help in your car.

Gradient Lenses

These usually range from fairly dark at the top of the lens to a clear bottom, but they're also available in different gradations. Gradient lenses that are clear or light on the bottom make it easy to see the dash when you're driving, but are usually not effective enough if anything below your line of vision will be reflecting light up at you.
