Product Insights
These Polaroid Polarized Rounded Cat-Eye Sunglasses combine UV400 polarization with a polycarbonate frame that is 40% lighter than acetate, deforms rather than shatters, and flexes to reduce clamping discomfort. They resist sweat and facial oils, preserving matte-finish temples, and can be reglazed with polarized prescription lenses. However, the lenses require storage in the included rigid case away from heat to prevent delamination.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Full-rim plastic frame is suitable for prescription lens fitting, and reglazing these sunglasses often costs less than buying a complete prescription pair because you avoid the markup of a new frame.
- Durability
- Polycarbonate frame deforms rather than shatters, with up to ten times the impact resistance of standard plastic.
- Comfort
- Weighs roughly 15–22 g — about 40% lighter than acetate — and flexes to avoid pressure points during all-day wear.
- Sweat resistance
- Resists absorbing sweat, facial oil, and sunscreen, so temples are less likely to develop softness, discoloration, or sticky residue after hot-weather wear.
- Weight
- Weighs 15-22g, about 40% lighter than acetate frames.
- Flexibility
- Controlled flexibility yields slightly under heat and movement, reducing clamping discomfort.
- Drop resilience
- Frame keeps its 50-23-140 mm dimensions and cat-eye contour after repeated drops, aided by up to 10x impact resistance.
- Material
- Polycarbonate frame flexes under movement to prevent headaches and is 40% lighter than acetate.
- Care
- Storing the sunglasses in the included rigid case protects against frame distortion and lens scratches when they would otherwise sit uncased in a bag or pocket.
- UV protection
- Level 3 UV protection blocks 99-100% UVA/UVB, equivalent to UV400.
- Prescription customization
- Frames can be reglazed with polarized prescription lenses that retain UV400 and glare reduction.
- Lens cleaning
- Rinse before wiping; use microfiber and mild soap; avoid ammonia and alcohol.
- Storage
- Store in included rigid case away from heat to prevent lens delamination.
