Although it is a topic that causes differing opinions among users, our experience and knowledge lead us to the view that mirror sunglasses neither benefit nor harm vision, they are only an aesthetic attribute.

A whole trend that in recent years has been established in the sunglasses collections of the main brands.
Mirrored or mirror-coated sunglasses are characterized by the outer surface of their lenses acting like a mirror, reflecting what is in front and preventing the wearer’s eyes from being seen.

Why choose sunglasses with mirror coating?
- To each their own… and this is one of the reasons why mirror sunglasses are chosen. The variety of lens colors is greater, ranging from mirrored oranges, blues, pinks, yellows, greens….
- For athletes: they are the preferred sunglasses model for athletes, but once again this is due to the belief that they improve vision. The coating that reduces reflections from water, snow, sand… is polarized, and this is what actually affects better vision or not. You can see here the differences between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses.
- For sporty and casual looks. As an accessory, they fit perfectly with this type of youthful and informal styles.

What should we know about lenses with mirror coating?
Their care is more delicate since the mirror coating can scratch more easily. But by rinsing the lens with water before cleaning it with an absorbent paper or a cotton cloth, there is no risk of scratching.
Remember that any sunglasses should be protected in their case when not in use. We should not leave them inside the car exposed to the sun, as the frame can deteriorate and deform.
