an honest appraisal
to be honest, the non-UV, non-blue-protecting sunglasses can hurt your eyes. I have not tried the HD glasses yet in bright sunlight with cars around and lots of glare or next to the ocean or a pool on a sunny day. I've been in a car in the bright sun with other cars around and cheap brown sunglasses still hurt my eyes. For your car, I suggest you invest in a pair of those athletic sunglasses. I hope they will fit in the sunglasses compartment of your SUV/whatever, or put them in your glove compartment if you can't put them anywhere else.
