Can You Wear Sunglasses While Driving?

[Ramon]

Yes, you can, but wearing sunglasses reduces the amount of light reaching your eyes, making objects ahead appear darker, which may not be conducive to drivers clearly seeing road conditions. Below is relevant information about wearing sunglasses while driving: Polarized lenses: Polarized lenses are designed to allow only directional light to pass through. To put it vividly, it can be likened to the effect of blinds. When the blinds are adjusted to a horizontal position, you can see the scenery outside while being unaffected by glaring sunlight. Therefore, lenses with polarization can filter out dazzling glare caused by scattering, refraction, reflection, and other factors. Gradient sunglasses: Also commonly known as "gradient" sunglasses, these are more user-friendly compared to solid-color sunglasses. Since the purpose of wearing sunglasses is to block glaring sunlight, and sunlight comes from above, the darker upper part and lighter lower part ensure that you are not dazzled by sunlight while still being able to see objects below clearly. However, such sunglasses still have shortcomings for driving purposes.
