Here is a video where a woman shares how she lost vision in left eye because of this exact situation stated in the video ua-cam.com/video/OahkS7L7W8Q/v-deo.html
Be careful out there everyone
❤
@ShadeReview Just FYI, that lady lost her vision from sunglasses with PLASTIC lens. If you go to the "ABOUT US" section of her website Blue Eye Sunglasses, she says that it was plastic shards in her eye not glass.
Still probably a good idea not to wear glass lens driving, but you might want to also consider avoiding CR39 and other non impact certified plastic lens as well.
This is such a valid point. I've 10 pairs of sunglasses but my Oakley Flak twos are my go to for the rough stuff.
I innately switched my Ray Ban aviators, for my polarized Rag and Bone sunglasses. I think the lenses are polycarbonate.
But yeah, once you go polarized. There is no going back.
Thanks for the info. I never knew this
No problem!
I will wear a polycarbonate lens when I'm doing some outdoor activity like sports. Driving? Come on! I think the risk level is below miniscule and I'll take my chances. I do like your content.
This video is really important. I had never thought of this before.
Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the advice
You bet
@@ShadeReview very interesting, I myself much prefer actual crystal lenses, I I guess in this case it’s the wrong choice. I must say my current favourite designs are the aviator and caravan raybans but in the new iteration. Raybans for ever 😎😎😎😊
Would be great if you could do a drop ball test / impact test. Serengeti have a dedicated glass drivers lens and Randolph are for aviation, in both you’d expect the lens design to consider impact as a design priority, whereas for example Maui Jim super thin glass, is more about style and weight, so you’d understand the impact performance to perhaps be less than aviation or driver glasses. Such a test would be really helpful for those people who do want a glass lens, and would like to know which is the safest.
Glass lenses are safe. Just because it’s possible something bad will happen doesn’t mean it’s even a remote possibility. Look up the stats of how often this has ever happened. Maybe 20 cases in the last 50 years, in a population of over 300 million people.
Thanks very much brother. That was great info. Never thought about it, that way. Going to pick my Carrera for driving from now on.
So happy this gentleman has a child! :)

He actually has 3 children 2 of them boys and one newborn girl
Chromance aviators are polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is what Oakley uses it's naturally UV blocking and the preferred material for safety lens. The small optical advantage doesn't offset the much better suitability of the poly lenses.
That's actually a very good point, never thought about the air-bag thing. Are there any lux brands with real high-quality non-glass lenses that you'd recommend? I know of Dita and Matsuda, but that's about it.
Oliver Peoples most high end brands acutally dont use glass
Revo imo has very very high quality non glass lenses , I practically see no difference when I compare them with other high end glass
Its good to think about airbags but I really hate the myth that “glass is more scratch resistant for lenses”. All lenses should be viewed as just as easy to scratch. As you show in the video they use a film which probably is also where the anti reflective coating is applied. The scratch resistance isn’t the value of the glass which is really high but whatever the resistance is of the film coating. The glass might be perfectly scratch free but you scratch up a coating and they are effectively scratched up.
Also it’s important to point out that if you leave a pair in the car it needs to be in a case that won’t heat up like most will. A hot car is enough to start to make frames bendable. Also if the lenses heat up faster than a lenses coating film it can cause coating to crack and give the crazed lenses.
Glass is way more scratch resistant than poly lens. The coating is on the inside of the lens which is not the side that get scratches most often. So the front, or outside of the lens is just glass. Poly lens is more shatter resistant and best for safety applications. It's also lighter.
Randolph or American Optional aesthetically? 🙏🏻
he made several videos on this
i own both brands and they are veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy similar
🤨
So then what is the real advantage of glass anyways ? I have some Mauis and Revos that probably anyone would fail to notice they are non glass based on pure optical clarity, I think we have come to a point where non glass lenses are so good that they are as clear as glass .
And make no mistake I own also many pairs with glass lenses but the difference is not substantial and in some cases I see no real difference
did you watch the video?
how you gunna lave a long comment with out even watching the video lol
@@sebastiandiego8539 what are you talking about ? I did watch the video , the disadvantage he talks about is the risk if injury in case of an accident due to glass shards . My question is more off topic , what are the advantages of glass if there are already materials out there that offer crisp optical quality and scratch resistance with much less weight and on top of that shatter resistance.
Maybe in the past glass was king and I still like my glass sunglasses but I have non glass pairs that no one would know they are not glass if they tried them on .
I'll never ever buy sunglasses with plastic lenses ever again. Don't care about the weight.
Even a decent Maui Jim MauiBrilliant wont last longer than a few months, same goes to RB Chromance polycarbonate and other brands plastic lenses too. With the most careful handling and usage, micro scratches will still develop eventually. No, thank you. Glass only.
@@attilab.2818 I have MauiPure and they have not developed any scratches although I have to say I don't use them daily , Chromance I have a pair and they seem more prone to scratches but the ones that have impressed me most hands down have been Revo Serilium or whatever they name it , the optical clarity is on par with other pairs I have with glass and they have not scratched even when they have been thrown around , hence my comment . I am sure there other companies offering non glass with very good quality .
This hurts. I love my Serengeti Drivers Lenses.
Agree, glass lenses are better for driving imo due to the clarity and technology
Nice guy 😍😍😍😍😍😍
This glass sunglass looks good,bro, can't say personal preference.
Glass lenses are banned in Canada because of this reason
Yes. cars are banned in Canada too, for safety reasons. lol. every pair of Persol's is a glass lens. They are very much not banned.
I spend 10-12 hrs on the road, sometimes 7 days a week.

you clearly didn't even watch the video before leaving comment
@sebastiandiego8539
I did and sorry for upsetting anyone, but polycarbonate lenses can also shatter into million pieces. Less likely but not impossible.
Really man..... ??? I don't wear glass sunglasses because I'm afraid I'll wreck.. I grew up in the 80s ... I'll say no more
Nice Guy !!! ❤❤ ( I won this comment)
Respectfully, this is bad take. I agree with you for cycling or sports, but your risk reward assessment is way off. The odds of this kind of freak accident happening are extremely low and you shouldn’t let fringe cases scare you from living life normally. You can swim in the ocean and not be paralyzed with fear of sharks. If you won’t wear glass lenses while driving you shouldn’t wear them crossing the street either. People can look at the stats themselves and they’ll see they have a better chance of winning the lottery than having their glass lenses break and damage their eyes. Costa wearers wear their glass lenses fishing and can get hit the face hard many times. This is click bait scaremongering.
That's another way of looking at it. You are right. Chances are rare. But better be safe than sorry. 👍
@@vijeeshmenon1982I really don’t think this is a better be safe than sorry situation, but of course that’s subjective to someone’s fear level. I’m saying it’s irrational and not based on a solid risk assessment. You have almost nothing to fear wearing glass lenses when driving. Remember, your windshield is made of glass and can shatter on impact as well. Don’t live life afraid of fringe cases.
@@uriklein6095 I had a coworker who met with an accident a few years back. He was riding his bike. His spectacles broke on impact and it put a deep gash on his face. He had to get some stitches. I had completely forgotten about this incident but this conversation just reminded me of it. It's a rare scenario, no doubt. But not something that can never happen.
@@vijeeshmenon1982I didn’t say it’s impossible but it’s so rare that we should not change our behavior over it. We can’t live based on rare anecdotes.
@@uriklein6095 Let me guess you also don't wear a seat belt when driving because "we can't live based on rare anecdotes"?

For me the choice is extremely clear NO Glass Sunglasses when driving.
With that being said I live in AMERICA🤠 you can do whatever you what to do as long as it does not negatively impact me or others.
Cheers
