Budget Sunglasses needed !! (Sun is in eyes !!) - any suggestions?

Sunglasses must have a minimum of 8% light transmission (Class 3 or better) for driving.

Polarised glasses stop reflected glare from wet roads and the sun bouncing off your bonnet. They can make some "modern" LCD dashes look funny, and show patterns with some windscreens and rear windows- the Satnav in my Suzuki has a rainbow effect.

I broke my usual sunglasses last summer and so put on a pair I'd bought and rarely worn. Got in my Suzuki and started driving, noticed the rainbow effect on the sat nav screen and genuinely thought the screen was on its way out as the colours had gone weird. My partner sat next to me couldn't understand what I was on about saying it was all weird colours, and eventually, much later, I realised it was the glasses!

I have a pair of night driving glasses which I occasionally use to combat retina searing l.e.d. headlights. I drove off one dark night after mistakenly donning my sunglasses. I wondered in was more dark than usual!

As others have said, polarised lenses are best for reducing glare, especially with low sun reflecting off a wet road surface. They're generally not tinted as much as normal sunglasses so are usable even when it's not sunny.

Sorry don't know where best to get non-prescription polarise sunglasses.

Loads of places will do you polarised sunglasses.

Izipizi for example are a brand that offers reading (and other types of glasses) in the same frame shapes, and I've sent them in lots of independent bookshops.

I've got two pairs of their reading glasses (they also do reading sunglasses if you're after that sort of thing) and a pair of their normal (non corrective) sunglasses. I personally find them very comfortable to wear. But they're £35 - £40 a pair so not strictly "budget".

Boots, and Superdrug will both have polarised sunglasses available. M&S does them - you just need to look to see if they're labelled as polarised.

Bog-standard non-prescription polarised sunglasses are easily and cheaply available at the likes of Boots, Superdrug, any of the main supermarkets, you name it. If you're not worried about wanting designer frames and just want something that's cheap and effective, there's loads to choose from.
