So now I'm going to find out if polarized means 100% uv protection and if there's different levels of polarization. I will not buy these sunglasses again but I will put them to good use. The good news is this test is legitimate and a uv flashlight and a blacklight flashlight are the same. The dr said if the blacklight shine through the lens your not getting full protection . So now when I buy my next pair I will be testing them first with my blacklight.
This was kind of my point the whole time. Why not just spend the $50 on glasses that you know are legit. Why take a chance purchasing from websites clearly selling knockoffs they wouldn't wear themselves?
