How TARO Compares
TARO is a soft, rounded hybrid — close to Ray‑Ban Erika, but built with higher‑grade
optics and coatings.
Same Price → Lower Lens Quality

EYRA TARO
• Optical‑grade nylon polarized lenses — clearer, lighter, and lower distortion than polycarbonate
• Backside anti‑glare coating to reduce internal reflections

• Soft, rounded acetate silhouette tuned for everyday wear
• Lightweight, balanced fit that doesn’t slide or pinch
• Transparent lens and material specs — no vague marketing language
Similar Build → Higher Price

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.
