Weird, as I owned a $400 pair of designer sunglasses from a local hipster optician and a $100 pair of equally hipster Warby Parkers and the "cheapie" Warby Parkers didn't interfere with me seeing my navigation/MFD LCD in the car. The fancy glasses with Essilor lenses blocked me from seeing the screen - which on this car is the main hub as the trip computer, critical warnings, navigation, audio and HVAC. Both glasses are polarized.
I recently had to get my windshield replaced, I requested a shaded one. Safelite installed a another Pilkington with a tint band, my car didn't have one.
Money isn't always spent on the tech, and is sometimes going to name, style, etc. That's why I wear Rudy Project. They are impact rated (they double as my shooting glasses), they darken in just a dozen seconds or so, and they are like looking at the world through HD. No distortion, etc. like I get from other glasses. When I was using Laser Racing Red lenses in them, I was able to turn my Aimpoint's down 1 setting from where I ran them without the glasses. Their lenses actually do what they say, regarding performance alteration with filtering various bands of light.
