I have two pair of sunglasses that make you see something interesting. One is smoked the other lense are yellow(range glasses:) ).
In the first picture I snapped a shot half and half, notice the rainbow look on the plastic ? This same thing happens with vehicle headlight plastic lenses...it doesn't do it on all plastic lenses...glass isn't affected..weird! Glasses are made by flying fisherman.
Second pic no sunglasses, third pic is yellow lense, fourth pic smoked lense.

Nope. I have a couple pairs if Serengeti glasses. They block most of the blue spectrum and add sharp contrast. The cheapo blue blocker sunglasses try to mimic the Serengeti's but the Serengeti's are made with Corning glass. Once you wear these I doubt you'd want anything else other than a pair of Rayban's.
 
I don't wear sunglasses. My regular glasses auto darken. I did have a pair of polarized sunglasses but couldnt wear them if I was on the radio when mobile. The glasses were polarized opposite to the LCD display and everything looked BLACK with them on. If I turned the glasses on their side you could see the display.
