DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Polaroid Core PLD2062 sunglasses deliver essential polarized protection in a versatile oval frame that works for everyday wear. Built with a mixed-material construction—acetate front, metal temples—these men's sunglasses balance durability with a lightweight feel that stays comfortable through long days outdoors.

Polarized Lens Technology from the Brand That Invented It

Polaroid didn't just adopt polarized lens technology—they created it. In 1929, Edwin H. Land patented the world's first synthetic polarizing material, and by 1935 the first Polaroid sunglasses were on the market. That heritage shows in the PLD2062's lenses, which block glare from water, roads, and reflective surfaces while providing 100% UV400 protection against UVA and UVB rays. The polarized lenses reduce eye strain and improve visual clarity, especially useful for driving, fishing, or any activity where glare is a factor. Available in gray polarized (matte black frame) or green polarized (matte havana frame) lenses, both options cut through harsh light without distorting color perception.

Oval Shape & Prescription-Ready Design

The oval frame shape offers a classic, flattering profile that suits most face shapes—less angular than rectangular frames, more structured than round. At 50mm lens width with a 22mm bridge and 140mm temples (size 50-22-140), the PLD2062 fits medium-sized faces comfortably. The full-rim acetate front provides lens security and structure, while the slim metal temples keep the overall weight down. These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses and skip the clip-ons or contact lenses. The matte finishes—whether the all-black or the tortoiseshell havana—resist fingerprints and give the frames a modern, understated look.

Who They're For

The Polaroid Core PLD2062 is built for practical use. If you need reliable polarized sunglasses for driving, outdoor activities, or daily wear and don't want to worry about losing an expensive pair, these hit the mark. The price point makes them a smart choice as a backup pair, a car pair, or your go-to frames when you want solid performance without the premium price tag. Manufactured by Safilo for Polaroid Core, they bring decades of optical expertise to an accessible price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Polaroid Core PLD2062 sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the PLD2062 frames are prescription-ready (marked as RXS). You can have your optician fit them with prescription lenses, including single-vision, progressive, or reader lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides secure lens retention for prescription use.

What size are the Polaroid PLD2062 sunglasses?

The PLD2062 measures 50mm lens width, 22mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length (50-22-140). This is a medium fit that works well for most adult faces. The lens height is approximately 46mm, giving good coverage without being oversized.

Do Polaroid sunglasses have UV protection?

Yes, Polaroid sunglasses provide 100% UV400 protection, blocking UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. The polarized lenses also eliminate glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and roads, reducing eye fatigue and improving visual clarity throughout the day.

What's the difference between the matte black and matte havana versions?

Both versions share the same frame shape and size. The matte black (0003-M9) features an all-black acetate front with gray polarized lenses, while the matte havana (0N9P-UC) has a tortoiseshell-pattern acetate front with green polarized lenses. Both have slim metal temples and matte finishes.

Are Polaroid sunglasses good quality for the price?

Polaroid Core sunglasses offer solid value in the budget-friendly category. Manufactured by Safilo, they feature genuine polarized lenses with UV protection and lightweight, durable frames. They're designed as practical everyday eyewear rather than premium fashion pieces, making them ideal for those who want reliable performance without a high price tag.

Can I use these sunglasses for driving?

Yes, the PLD2062's polarized lenses are excellent for driving. They reduce glare from roads, windshields, and other vehicles, improving visual clarity and reaction time. The gray and green polarized lens options both provide accurate color perception, which is important for reading traffic signals safely.

Polaroid Core PLD2062 vs Similar Models

Shopping for affordable polarized sunglasses in the Polaroid Core line? The PLD2062 competes directly with several similar models, each offering slight variations in frame shape, size, and construction.

PLD2062 vs PLD2053: Oval Frame Showdown

Both the PLD2062 and PLD2053 feature oval frames with polarized lenses, but the construction differs. The PLD2062 uses a mixed acetate-metal build (acetate front, metal temples) for a more substantial feel, while the PLD2053 is all-metal throughout. The PLD2053 offers a slightly larger 51mm lens width versus the PLD2062's 50mm, which may fit larger faces better. However, the PLD2062's acetate front provides more color options with richer finishes like the matte havana tortoiseshell. If you prefer a lighter, more minimalist feel, the PLD2053 wins; if you want more structure and a modern mixed-material look, the PLD2062 is the better choice.

PLD2062 vs PLD2050: Oval vs Rectangle

The PLD2050 offers a rectangular alternative at the same $43.45 price point. With a larger 55mm lens width, the PLD2050 suits bigger faces and delivers a more angular, contemporary look. The PLD2062's oval shape is more universally flattering and classic, working well across different face shapes. For driving and outdoor activities, both perform equally well with polarized lenses, but the PLD2062's medium fit makes it more versatile for a wider range of wearers.

Why Choose the PLD2062?

The PLD2062 stands out for its balanced design: the oval shape flatters most faces, the mixed acetate-metal construction offers durability without excess weight, and the medium 50mm size hits the sweet spot for everyday wear. It's prescription-ready, comes in two versatile colorways, and delivers Polaroid's signature polarized lens technology at an accessible price. If you want a reliable, good-looking pair of polarized sunglasses that won't break the bank, the PLD2062 is a smart pick.
