Do Mirrored Lenses Make Any Difference For The Wearer?

[M.Pfeiffer]

Hello,

I have a Fives 4.0 with mirrored black iridium polarized RX lenses. Now I wanna buy a new model with the same lenses, but I'm not sure if I should choose the mirrored effect again. So is there any advantage for the wearer or is it just a difference in style?

I think the mirrored effect is for style points only...

hides your eyes....

The mirrored effect is the Iridium I believe and yeah, mostly just for looks and help with specific light conditions/glare? although do they make polarized that aren't iridium?

Lets the chicks not know you aren't looking at their eyes when you are speaking to them.

Seriously though.

This is straight off of Oakleys website.


Made of Plutonite® to filter out every eye-chafing ray of UV, the lenses are available in a full spectrum of options. HDPolarized lenses beat down 99% of reflected glare with premium filtering while Iridium® coatings balance light transmission and reduce glare even more

I think iridium improves detail in shadows too...

Oakley Iridium coating, for me, reduces glare extremely well. I have found that non-polarized iridium lenses alone cut out more glare than other brand's polarized lenses.
