Frequently asked questions
Which are better - Polarized or Non-Polarized lenses?
For pilots, polarized lenses can cause serious instrument visibility problems in the cockpit. In addition, polarized lenses reduce glare and therefore inhibit pilots from seeing other aircraft. Therefore, for pilots non-polarized lenses are better.
Do darker lenses provide more UV protectiion?
False. UV protection is a coating or material property, not related to lens darkness. A clear lens with the UV400 coating protects better than a very dark lens without UV protection. All of our lenses come with UVA/UVB 400nm UV protection.
Are you just paying for a brand name?
Premium materials like mineral glass lenses and titanium frames have real, measureable performance differences that budget materials cannot replicate. The Scheyden price point reflects material costs and performance.
How should you clean your sunglasses?
Use a clean microfiber cloth and lens cleaning spray. Avoid wiping dry lenses with clothing or paper products which can introduce fine scratches. Rinse with water before wiping if there is dust or grit on the lenses.
