How KARO Compares
KARO is a bold, fashion‑forward square — the kind of silhouette often reserved for
designer labels, but built here with optical‑grade lenses.

How to Compare Sunglasses Properly
▼
Lens material matters most.
If a brand doesn’t clearly say nylon or glass, it’s almost always polycarbonate.
Polycarbonate lenses are a common plastic used in many sunglasses.
They’re impact‑resistant but have more distortion and lower clarity than optical‑grade nylon or glass.
What “3N” and “3P” mean.
These codes indicate tint category, not lens material.
Price ≠ quality.
Many brands charge more for branding, not better optics.
