Best Polarized Sunglasses for Men Under $50

One of the main reasons to buy sunglasses is to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays. While regular sunglasses are better than no sunglasses at all, there’s a better option out there: polarized sunglasses.

Polarized sunglasses for men are a slightly more expensive alternative to a regular pair of sunglasses. However, you don’t have to pay exorbitant prices to find a pair that will protect your eyes and help keep your vision healthier, for longer. Here are some of the best polarized sunglasses for men under $50.

Polarized vs Non-Polarized Lenses

If you’ve purchased a standard pair of sunglasses, then you’re familiar with non-polarized lenses. These are any pair of sunglasses you could buy in a store. They protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays, but that’s about it. The biggest pro to them is that they’re typically cheaper than polarized lenses (but that’s not always true).

Polarized sunglasses are specialized to stop glare, block horizontal light rays, and filter out light to further protect your eyes. These features help you to stop squinting when you’re outside on a bright day so that you can see the world around you more clearly.

Who are Polarized Sunglasses Best for?

Anyone who spends time outdoors should consider polarized sunglasses. If you play in a recreational sports league with friends, then you want to be able to see the ball in play, even on a sunny day. A pair of polarized sunglasses for men can make or break the catch to score the winning touchdown.

If you commute for work or do a lot of driving, it’s beneficial to invest in a pair of polarized sunglasses. Depending on what part of the US you live in and the time of year, the sun can be right in your face during the commute home. 

Squinting while driving can be dangerous and could cause you to miss an item on the road or someone crossing the street. Polarized sunglasses reduce glare so you can drive confidently with clear vision.

Also, if you find yourself getting headaches, it may be from squinting in the sun too often. Try some polarized sunglasses so you can relax your eyes and release tension, preventing headaches before they start.
