DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Polaroid Core P8317 Sunglasses deliver authentic polarized lens technology at a price that makes premium eye protection accessible. These women's sunglasses feature a rounded rectangle frame in rich havana acetate with brown gradient polarized lenses that cut glare while maintaining true color perception.

Polaroid invented the polarizing filter in 1929, and that expertise shows in the P8317's lenses. The polarized coating blocks virtually 100% of horizontal glare from water, pavement, and reflective surfaces, while 100% UV400 protection shields your eyes from UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. The brown gradient tint offers darker coverage at the top where you need it most, transitioning to a lighter shade at the bottom for comfortable all-day wear.

The full-rim acetate frame measures 58mm lens width with a 135mm temple length and features tapered temples that start broader at the hinge and slim toward the tips for a secure, comfortable fit. Acetate is naturally hypoallergenic and won't heat up in the sun like metal frames can. The single bridge design and integrated nose pads prevent slipping during active wear.

These frames are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx for polarized prescription sunglasses that combine vision correction with glare reduction. The 58mm lens size and rectangle shape suit medium to large face shapes, particularly oval, heart, and square faces.

Polaroid Core focuses on function and affordability without sacrificing quality. The P8317 offers the same polarization technology found in premium brands at a fraction of the cost, making it a smart choice for anyone who wants genuine glare protection for driving, beach days, or everyday outdoor wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Polaroid Core P8317 sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the P8317 frames are fully prescription-ready and can be fitted with single-vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses. You can add your prescription to these polarized sunglasses to combine vision correction with glare reduction and UV protection in one pair.

Do these sunglasses have UV protection?

Yes, all Polaroid sunglasses provide 100% UV400 protection against UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. This level of protection blocks harmful UV radiation up to 400 nanometers, exceeding the protection available in most standard sunglass lenses and reducing eye fatigue throughout the day.

What does polarized mean and why does it matter?

Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks horizontal light waves, eliminating glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, pavement, and car hoods. This reduces eye strain, improves visual clarity, and makes polarized sunglasses especially beneficial for driving, fishing, and outdoor sports where glare can be distracting or dangerous.

How do I clean polarized sunglasses without damaging them?

Rinse your polarized sunglasses under lukewarm water first to remove debris, then apply a small amount of mild, lotion-free soap. Gently clean with your fingers, rinse again, and dry with a microfiber cloth. Never wipe lenses dry without rinsing first, as dust particles can scratch the polarized coating. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, acetone, and paper products.

What face shapes work best with rectangle sunglasses?

Rectangle and rounded-edge frames like the P8317 complement oval, heart, and square face shapes particularly well. The 58mm lens width offers medium to large coverage, and the soft rectangular shape balances angular features while providing good coverage without overwhelming smaller faces.

How does Polaroid compare to more expensive polarized sunglasses brands?

Polaroid invented polarized lens technology and offers genuine polarization at accessible prices, typically $40-80 compared to $150+ for premium brands. While luxury brands may offer additional features or materials, Polaroid provides the same core glare-blocking technology and 100% UV protection, making them excellent value for everyday wear, driving, and outdoor activities.

Compare the Polaroid Core P8317 to Similar Styles

Shopping for affordable polarized sunglasses? The Polaroid Core collection offers several women's acetate frames at similar price points, all featuring the brand's signature polarized lens technology and 100% UV protection. Here's how the P8317 compares to other popular models in the line.

P8317 vs. P8419 Sunglasses

Both the P8419 and P8317 are priced at $43.45 and share the same acetate construction, polarized lens technology, and prescription-ready capability. The main difference comes down to frame shape and color options. The P8317 features a rounded rectangle shape with havana coloring and brown gradient lenses, while the P8419 may offer a different silhouette or color palette. If you prefer the classic tortoiseshell look with gradient lenses, the P8317 is your best bet. If you want to explore alternative shapes or colors at the exact same price and quality level, check out the P8419.

P8317 vs. Pld6003 Sunglasses

The Pld6003 is another $43.45 option in the Polaroid Core women's collection. You get the same UV400 protection, polarized glare reduction, and prescription compatibility across both models. The decision comes down to which frame shape and styling better suits your face and personal taste. Both deliver authentic Polaroid polarization at an accessible price, so you can't go wrong either way.

P8317 vs. Pld4075 Sunglasses

If you're willing to spend slightly more, the Pld4075 at $45.65 represents a small step up in the Polaroid Core line. The $2.20 difference may reflect updated styling, different measurements, or additional color options. Both frames use acetate construction and Polaroid's proven polarized lens technology, so the core performance is comparable. The P8317 offers better value if budget is your priority, while the Pld4075 might appeal if you prefer its specific design.

Why Choose the P8317?

The P8317 hits the sweet spot for customers who want genuine Polaroid polarization, prescription-ready acetate frames, and classic havana styling with brown gradient lenses—all at one of the lowest price points in the collection. The rounded rectangle shape suits a wide range of face shapes, and the 58mm lens width provides good coverage without being oversized. For everyday wear, driving, and outdoor activities where glare reduction matters, the P8317 delivers proven technology at an unbeatable value.
