What category lenses are best for driving in Australia?
For driving in Australia, Category 3 lenses are generally recommended. They provide high sun glare reduction while still allowing enough visible light for safe road use.
Category 4 lenses offer a higher level of sun protection but are not suitable for driving, as they reduce visible light transmission too significantly.
Are polarised sunglasses better for glare?
Yes. Polarised sunglasses are specifically designed to reduce reflective glare, making them ideal for driving, beach use and outdoor activities.
They work by filtering horizontal light reflections from surfaces such as water, sand and roads, resulting in clearer vision, improved contrast and reduced eye strain.
What is the difference between Category 3 and Category 4 lenses?
Both Category 3 and Category 4 lenses offer high levels of UV protection, but they differ in light filtration strength.
Category 3 lenses
• High glare reduction
• Suitable for everyday wear and driving
• Ideal for bright Australian conditions
Category 4 lenses
• Very high glare reduction
• Designed for extremely bright environments
• Not safe for driving
All sunglasses stocked at Elwood101 meet Australian safety standards and provide appropriate UV protection.

How do I choose sunglasses that suit my face shape?
Choosing sunglasses that complement your face shape helps balance proportions and enhance overall styling.
• Round face shapes — Structured or angular frames such as square, rectangular or cat-eye styles add definition.
• Square face shapes — Rounded or oval frames soften stronger facial features.
• Oval face shapes — Most frame styles suit oval faces, making them the most versatile.
• Heart-shaped faces — Lighter frames or styles with balanced proportions help complement wider foreheads and narrower chins.
At Elwood101, our curated sunglasses collection includes a wide variety of silhouettes designed to suit different face shapes, personal styles and everyday wear.
