They are activated by the UV rays therefore they do not get as dark in the car as they do directly outside because there is UV protection in windshields. They offer both UVA and UVB protection. Polarized Sunglasses – polarized lenses offer the best sunglass protection. These lenses are dark all the time and help reduce glare. They also come with UV coating.
