Common questions

Sunglasses questions

• Polarized or non-polarized for sport?

  Polarized lenses cut glare from water, asphalt, and snow but can make it harder to read phone, GPS, and bike-computer screens. Cyclists and runners often pick non-polarized; anglers and water-sports athletes pick polarized. Each PDP lists polarization status.

• What's lens VLT and why does it matter?

  VLT (visible light transmission) describes how much light a lens lets through. Lower VLT (10 to 20 percent) is full sun; higher (40 to 60 percent) is overcast or low light. Photochromic lenses cover a range automatically. Match the lens to the light you actually train in.

• Prescription options?

  Some sport sunglasses accept clip-in optical inserts; full prescription lenses are also available through the brand's optical program. The catalog lists insert compatibility on each PDP, but final prescription work happens through a licensed optician, not Victory Theory.
