There are important reasons you should be wearing sunglasses while driving. Sunlight creates a glare that can make it hard to see and even dangerous to drive. Glasses even help when the weather is wet and foggy since it reduces the scattered light created by rain. Furthermore, sunglasses can keep your eyes healthy by keeping you from squinting them. Of course, the big question is what are the best driving sunglasses?

FAQs

1. What Should I Look For in Frame Technology?

Look for fit, grip, coverage, and material in frame technology. You want something that doesn’t put pressure on the temples but doesn’t slip down the nose. Wider and taller lenses offer the most protection from the sun and lightweight material ensures they don’t become uncomfortable.

2. What Are the Differences Between Polarized, Transitions, and Gradient Lenses?

Polarized lenses are a must-have if you’ll be driving since they protect you from blinding glare. However, you may consider gradient or transition options as well. Gradient options are darker at the top and lighter at the bottom, while transitions lenses change completely based on how much sunlight is hitting them.

3. Are ANSI Ratings Important?

That depends on you. If you plan to wear your sunglasses while you’re working with dangerous equipment or practicing a contact sport, yes, as they’ll help to protect you from debris or shattered glasses.

4. What Shape Should the Sunglasses Be?

That’s entirely up to you. The wider and taller the frame is, the more protection you’ll have, but only you know what you are comfortable with.

 

5. Do I Really Need To Wear Sunglasses While Driving?

Yes. Without them, you risk being blinded by the sun and driving dangerously or even causing an accident.
