Polarised Sunglasses Singapore
Glare is one of the biggest performance killers in outdoor sport — and Singapore's tropical light makes it worse. Reflected off wet roads after a rain shower, bouncing off reservoirs and open water, cutting across your vision mid-run on an exposed stretch of East Coast Parkway. Polarised sunglasses eliminate that glare at the source, using a directional lens filter that blocks horizontal reflected light while letting everything else through clearly.
Aura Shades' polarised collection is built for Singapore athletes. Every pair carries UV400 protection — blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays — and our sports frames are engineered to stay locked in place through runs, rides, paddles and everything in between.
Why Polarised Lenses?
- Eliminates glare — from roads, water, sand and wet surfaces
- UV400 protection — 100% UVA and UVB blockage
- Sharper contrast — see trail details, road hazards and ball movement more clearly
- Less eye strain — especially on long outdoor sessions in Singapore's intense sun
- Photochromic options available — polarised lenses that also auto-adapt to changing light
How to Tell If a Lens Is Actually Polarised
Not every sunglass marketed as "anti-glare" is polarised — some are just a darker tint. Two ways to check before you buy: look at a reflective surface like a wet road or car bonnet through the lens and tilt your head 60 degrees — a polarised lens will visibly cut the glare as you tilt, a tinted one won't change. Or check a phone or laptop screen through the lens at an angle — polarised lenses often make LCD screens go dark or show a rainbow pattern, a side effect of the same filter that cuts road glare.
Every lens in this collection is genuinely polarised, not just tinted — confirmed by the same test above.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a polarised sunglass and how does it work?
A polarised sunglass uses a directional filter built into the lens that blocks horizontally reflected light. Glare bouncing off a wet road, a reservoir or a car bonnet travels in one orientation, and the filter cancels it out while letting the rest of the light through. The result is less glare and sharper contrast, not just a darker view.
Is a polarised sunglass worth it in Singapore?
Yes. Singapore's equatorial sun sits high overhead and roads stay wet long after a shower, which creates constant reflected glare. A polarised sunglass is genuinely useful here year round, particularly for driving, cycling and anything near water.
What is the difference between a polarised sunglass and a normal tinted one?
A tint only reduces overall brightness. A polarised lens specifically removes reflected glare, which is the light that causes squinting and eye strain. Two lenses can look identically dark while only one cuts glare.
Are polarised sunglasses bad for driving?
For most driving in Singapore they help considerably, cutting glare off wet expressways and other vehicles. The one caveat is that polarised lenses can make some digital dashboard screens harder to read at certain angles. If that affects your car, a non-polarised UV400 lens is the better choice.
How much does a polarised sunglass cost at Aura Shades?
Polarised styles start from SGD 54.90 with free delivery across Singapore. Every lens is UV400 regardless of price, and photochromic polarised options are available in the carbon fibre range.
Do polarised lenses still block UV?
Polarisation and UV protection are two separate lens properties. Every Aura Shades lens is UV400, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays, whether or not it is polarised.
