Why choose mirrored sunglasses?

  • For tastes, colors... and this is one of the reasons why mirrored sunglasses are chosen. The variety in lens colors is greater, ranging from mirrored oranges, blues, pinks, yellows, greens….
  • For athletes: they are the preferred model of glasses for athletes, but once again it is due to the belief that they improve their vision. The treatment that reduces reflections from water, snow, sand... is polarized, and better vision depends on it or not. You can see here the differences between polarized and non-polarized glasses.
  • For sporty and casual looks. As a complement, they fit perfectly with this type of youthful and informal looks.

What should we know about lenses with mirror treatment?

Its care is more delicate since the mirror treatment can be scratched more easily. But by washing the lens with water before cleaning it with absorbent paper or a cotton pad, there is no risk of scratching.

Remember that any sunglasses must be protected in their case when we are not using them. We should not leave them inside the car and exposed to the sun, since the frame can deteriorate and deform.
