Last year I purchased a pair of prescription sunglasses and one the questions they asked was if I fly. I was told to avoid flying with polarized lenses. The main reason is that you cannot see certain cockpit displays correctly (glass cockpits). Not yet a problem in the S300C. The polarization somehow interferes or cuts out the light from the display. Before my new sunglasses I used a pair of cheap polarized clip-ons and I noticed I couldn’t read the LCD at auto gas pumps.
