Are There Advantages To Polarized Sunglasses?

The following article posits the advantages of polarized sunglasses:

The Advantages of Ray Ban Polarized Sunglasses

Ray Ban originated aviator sunglasses way back in the 1930s and began selling them on the boardwalk along the Atlantic Ocean. The original design was not a tear drop, but rather a larger lens covering more of the eye socket from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Today, many people associate aviator sunglasses with the tear drop shape which was made popular by the famous WWII photograph of MacArthur returning to the Philippines. Below is a video of MacArthur landing:

Here is an interesting video on the memorial to the landing:

The Best Aviator Sunglasses

Well, it is interesting to note that many who think they know the history of aviator sunglasses believe they know how it all started. Problem is, they don't. For example, here is an article that really does not know the history of aviator sunglasses:

The Best Aviator Sunglasses

The truth is they were invented by Ray Ban and originally sold on the Boardwalk. Only later did they become standard fare for pilots flying airplanes.

This video claims to tell you everything you wanted to know about aviator sunglasses:

Once again, the author believes aviator sunglasses were made for pilots originally, but the truth is they weren't. They became popular when actors and actresses began wearing them to protect their eyes from the glare of studio lights.

So, get your history right, folks!

Aviator Sunglasses

As a pilot it is always interesting to read articles about aviator sunglasses. Sometimes I think the mystique overtakes common sense. For example, check out this article:

Aviator Sunglasses - Why You Should Buy The Mirrored Style

In this article the author claims that mirrored sunglasses were developed for pilots; nothing could be further from the truth. The facts are that aviator sunglasses for military pilots, and civilian pilots and drivers of cars with heads up displays, should buy non-polarized aviator sunglasses like Randolph aviator sunglasses. They are not mirrored, not polarized and are very effective at blocking out the suns harmful ultraviolet rays.

I found this interesting video that tells why these are the best aviator sunglasses:

Randolph Aviator Sunglasses

In addition, I found this interesting article at Ezinearticles as well:

How Important Are Aviator Sunglasses For Pilots?

Aviator sunglasses are also important for drivers of automobiles that have heads up displays in them. Polarized sunglasses can render the readouts from the heads up display unreadable, and therefore useless.

Eyewear for Pilots and Drivers of Cars with Heads Up Displays

In an interesting article the author claims that proper eyewear for pilots has been a required item since man's first flight. I beg to differ - the first flight took place when googles were the preferred form of eyewear, and they really only kept the eyes from drying out and from bugs entering the eyes. Really, not much use at all; however, you can read the article here:

Eyewear for Pilots

I would argue that the proper aviator sunglasses are more important, and certainly not mirrored aviator sunglasses.
