    Ok the sun doesn’t produce polarized light, but the atmosphere polarizes it. So sunlight is polarized. All sunglasses reduce the amount of light going into your eye…that’s the point of sunglasses.

      The light does not need to be polarized for a polarizing lens to have an effect. Polarized sunglasses eliminate glare, unlike their non polarized cousins. This is why they’re prized by fishermen-they can see into the water. Works for windshields too.

      It really seems like you don’t understand how this works.
