Finally got a pair of prescription sunglasses for summer, but apparently polarised lenses are potentially dangerous for cyclists according to Redditors due to light playing weird tricks on you. On my first day wearing them the only interesting thing I noticed was my phone screen shimmering like a foil trading card

I've been fine riding with my sunglasses. It does that wavy thing when I look at the readout on my ebike right where it says how far I've gone this trip. Otherwise it's been all good
