Polarized sunglasses For women
What Polarized Sunglasses for Women Do
Polarized sunglasses for women are sunglasses with a polarizing filter built into the lenses, made in the shapes and sizes women shop for most. The filter cuts light that has bounced off flat, shiny surfaces such as water, wet pavement, a car hood or a glass storefront. That bounced light is the glare that still makes you squint in dark sunglasses, and cutting it is the one job a polarized lens does that a regular tinted lens doesn't.Every frame in this collection is listed here because its lenses are polarized. Each product page shows the exact lens and coating details for that pair.

Polarized Sunglasses for Women FAQ
What do polarized sunglasses do?
Polarized sunglasses cut glare reflected off flat, shiny surfaces like water, wet roads, car hoods and glass. The women's styles on this page differ in shape and sizing, not in how the lens works.
Are all the sunglasses on this page polarized?
Yes. A frame appears on this page only when its lenses are polarized. The product page for each pair lists its lens and coating details.
Are polarized sunglasses the same as UV-blocking sunglasses?
No. Polarization cuts reflected glare, and UV filtering is a separate lens property. A lens can have one, both or neither, so check the UV rating on each product page.
Are polarized lenses darker than regular sunglasses?
Not necessarily. How dark a lens looks comes from its tint, while polarization only deals with reflected glare. A medium-tint polarized lens can feel more comfortable on the water than a darker lens without polarization.
Why does my phone screen look dark with polarized sunglasses on?
Many screens give off light in a single direction, and a polarized lens can block part of it. Tilt the phone or your head and the screen usually comes back.
