The C3 rectangle in clear brown: a gradient brown polarized lens, 52 by 42 mm, in a 139 mm frame with a 138 mm arm on a 16 mm bridge, cut from polycarbonate. One pair at $9.99. On the C3 the 42 mm lens comes up to the brow, so the sky stays out of the windscreen at four in the afternoon, and the 138 mm arm rests behind the ear. The gradient on the C3 in clear brown is darkest at the top of the lens, where the sky is, and lighter where the dashboard is. The other 10 on this shelf, and the rest of BEALER essentials, are one click from the C3.

What the rating on the lens means

UV400 on a lens means the lens is rated to stop ultraviolet light up to a wavelength of 400 nanometres, which covers UVA and UVB, the two bands that reach the ground. That rating is the whole of what a sunglass lens does about the sun; polarization is a separate property that cuts reflected glare and, in the words of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, provides no UV protection on its own. The academy also says a darker lens is not a safer lens and that the sun's rays pass through haze and cloud, so the number to read on any pair, ours included, is the UV rating rather than the tint. A pair of sunglasses is not treatment for any eye condition, and light sensitivity that arrived suddenly is a question for an optometrist or ophthalmologist, not for a lens.

Every sentence in this note about the eye comes from a named public source. All of them, with the date we read them, are on our updates page.
