Do sunglasses that have a gradually fading tint protect less than sunglasses which have an even tint?
Filed Under (sunglasses) by admin
Drew asked:


I have a pair or Ray-Ban sunglasses which have the gradually fading tint. Darker on top, light on the bottom. I was wondering if these sunglasses provided less sun protection than a fully tinted pair?
The sunglasses are $150 pair of Ray-Bans, so I don’t think quality is of the issue. I was more wondering if the sunglasses came with tint that GRADUALLY fades (it’s made like that). They’re 100% protection from UVA/UVB.

    The fading tint is just for decoration.

    There really is no difference.
    They both protect eyes.
