I had this as a gift from my wife. I had always hoped to have a polarized shades and so when I got this I was glad. But then when I used this on driving with the sun in front of me, it had glare behind the lens and I could even see the reflection of my eyes, it hurts my eye and reflection distracts me. Used this also on the beaches in bright sunshine, the glare is even worse. The polarized lens isn't that effective that on bright sunlight conditions and for my driving, I still wear my Oakleys which are better and are made in the USA. I can't return or get rid of this since it came from my wife and I would be in trouble if I do so, you know what I mean... The only consolation I got from this shades is its fashionable design.
