FAQs
Mirrored lenses feature a reflective coating with a mirror-like appearance. The reflective coating helps to reduce the amount of light that reaches the eyes by reflecting it away from the lens surface.
The mirror lens coating does not affect the wearer's ability to see objects in their field of view. The coating enhances clarity by reflecting glare from the outer surface.
In addition to reducing glare and providing UV protection and optical clarity, mirrored sunglasses are also stylish. The reflective coating adds a unique aesthetic and provides a level of privacy by making it difficult for others to see the wearer's eyes.
Mirrored lenses may reduce visibility in low-light conditions, making it challenging to see in environments with little light. The mirror coating is more prone to smudging and scratching than non-mirrored lenses. Additionally, mirrored sunglasses may be more expensive than non-mirrored sunglasses with similar features.
