My eyes were stabled, and gotten worst because my eyes are sensitive to light, and wearing the so-called polarized and darker lens. I have 4 optometrists that I go to yearly for contact lenses, regular glasses, and sportwears advices. All confirmed the same degradation and dark/polarized lens wear. The so called "plutonite" is just another company gimmick. Unless there's a MSDS and EPA subjected study to the material used ("plutonite") and confirmed that in combination with polarized pattern protect your eyes for prolong wear, I'm in no way vouch for the company's commercial gimmick.
I can say that true high end lens from good companies like Oakley will protect your eyes from UVA, UVB, and UVC (a new concern), but to toss the more expensive polarized pattern to charge consumers for a company commercial gimmicks, I simply cannot promote such useless spending. Before I purchase any protective equipment, I research things very closely, both in the consumer's feedbacks and testing results from 3rd parties..not just by some words of mouth.
Just to let you know, i own a series of lens from Oakley, with proper sound judgment and reasoning before purchasing, from the clear white/yellow to the darker lens, ranging from doing repair works in my labs/garages to field works (mountain tops to desert lands) and sports (cycling, swimming, snowboarding, fishing, and underwater). Since I'm a four-eyes, trust me, I'm very very meticulous to my vision wears. Hope that clears things up.
