Finally got a pair of prescription sunglasses for summer, but apparently polarised lenses are potentially dangerous for cyclists according to Redditors due to light playing weird tricks on you. On my first day wearing them the only interesting thing I noticed was my phone screen shimmering like a foil trading card
The redditors saying shit like “you’ll miss puddles with polarized lenses” have to be nautiluses with pinhole eyes or something. No idea what world they’re living in.
lmao, that’s the exact example that kept popping up
As soon as I got the glasses I tried looking at water to see if there was some weird mindfuck shit going on and was severely disappointed
There was also something about the way sunlight filters through trees in forests (???)
I’ve been riding over a decade and only keep polarized sunglasses idk what these people are talking about. I’ve also cycled in a lot of forest, there’s nothing lol.
I think one other example was not being able to see people inside parked cars with tinted windows, thus increasing your chances of getting doored. These sound like some real edge cases
More often the polarization makes it easier to see into a car in my experience. Anyway, yeah edge cases for sure.
