Q. How do you tell if sunglasses are polarized or not?
A. Look at a bright, reflective light source with your shades on. If the light increases in intensity when you tilt your head sideways to around 60 degrees, you're wearing polarized sunglasses. If there is no change in quality, they are just tinted.
