Ha! I suppose I am, although they do come in standard aviator/driver styles.

I have two regular sunglasses and one that is polarized (all are from Oakely).

I noticed any dark or poorly lit screens don't seem to go well with polarized glasses. But I never had a problem with my non polarized one, but my regular sunglasses have a yellow tint so it picks up on darker screens better and even though they are not as clear as polarized they do help me spot things quicker. Although I generally use my polarized for when I'm driving and only when its sunny.

As you move away from this angle, more non-polarized light makes its way through, but at angles close to that (like a windshield), you will have mostly polarized light.

I'm aware of Brewster's Angle, and I see where you're going with this, but I would say that your previously nebulous statement is still inaccurate. Also, your incident rays in this case are going to be highly polarized.

Meh. I don't really care anymore.

Turns out one of my lenses' polarization angles was off my about 30 degrees. Just went and exchanged them. Much better!

I haven't had this issue at all with my Polarized Maui Jim Sunglasses. Brown lens if that helps.

I had gone through the post, Generally Polarized sunglasses have been popular with boaters and fishermen who need to reduce the reflected glare from the water surrounding them and also can be worn indoors by light-sensitive people and those continually exposed to bright light through windows.
