Is there a polarized photochromatic combo and could it also be mirrored different colors

[chexhcatialo]

My hands are bound behind my back and my glasses are slipping down my nose. What do you recommend for getting my glasses back up my nose?

I think the main thing about mirror coatings is color filtration which was totally overlooked; for example the differences between a Brown lens react with a Green coating as opposed to to Bronze coating, or the reason why Blue mirror is most efficient on deep water, etc.

why mirror and AR works for me and not polarized

[cruzinthruspace]

So I can't get mirror coded lens with polarization

Looking for a Oakley black reflective polarized lens. What’s the name for that lens?

[davidcoleman]

But my Maui Jim's have both. 😂

Hi. I’ve replaced my damaged mirror lense ‘Oakley frog skins . To polorized. The mirror color is cool’ don’t last long

[VVayVVard]

Could you make a video where you put a mirrored and a non-mirrored version of the same types of lenses in front of your camera, for a direct comparison? Like how you showed the effect of polarization? This would be very instructive in deciding whether or not it is a useful feature from a functional perspective.

One reason to choose mirror over polarized lens? Protective film on public transit windows. They use one in my area that feel "oily" when I wear polarized sunglasses. It's nauseating. I'm not subject to transport sickness. But this coating + polarized lens, I'm sick even if the train is fully still.

Hey bud. Great vid.
I just read in the comments where you said that mirror transitions may stay clear.
I just ordered a pair of glasses with photo-chromatic mirror lenses and
now I’m thinking the product may have been described wrong and it gonna be one or the other or at the very least they are gonna suck.
Keep up the great work.

Hi there I had my nerves burned in lasek PRK surgery and have alot of eye pain even when it seems dark outside. I have mirrored lenses that I like the look of which is rare because I don’t like many sunglasses. Is there any spray or product that I can buy to use on my current rimless mirrored aviators to make them polarized? Because I was told I should get polarized. Will that coating applied on top make my mirrored lenses look different ? I think I saw an anti glare spray though I don’t know if that will help my mirrored lenses behave the way polarized would or if mirrored is the best I can expect to get. I’m not so sure polarized will even be better for my eyes than my current rimless mirrored aviators lenses-please advise!

I developed an eye condition from working outside so often. I have a pair of mirrored Rx glasses now. I should of gotten these sooner.

[susangoldstein]

I wear bi focal with a line can I get mirrored sunglasses

[Maria-yuuu]

Why can’t you on prescription lenses not be dark? I ordered polarized ray band RX sunglasses polarized and see my eye. I was told they can’t darken them. Would non polarized rx be better, tinted or glass mirror?

[thomasw]

Is there a way to get a solid mirrored look without it tinting, as I would like to wear mine all the time due to them being prescription?

[Pyracantic]

Silver mirrored thank you kindly for the solid advice and video!

[makerofmanythings]

Good video bro, I have a question, what are the lenses called that look like a frosted matte. I think that looks REALLY COOL. I look forward to your response. Thanks again bro.
