Read our guide on varifocals vs bifocals.

Tinted lenses simply reduce brightness, but polarised lenses go a step further by cutting glare from reflective surfaces like water, roads, or glass. If you drive frequently, spend time by the water, or want the best clarity in sunlight, polarised lenses are a great choice.
