I agree.


Be careful, though.

I bought a pair of polarized prescrition sunglasses a while back, and they were
giving me headaches from day one. I went back several times to get the
prescription checked, but they kept insisting they were OK. Turns out they were
the right prescription...

.... but the polarization wasn't the same on both lenses! They were out of phase
with each other. Rather like = and //.

Check this by using another polarized item and holding the glasses out a bit
from your face while rotating them and looking through both. You should see the
same effects at the same time in both lenses.
