That is an interesting example because I would say the pain I rarely get (as described above) does resemble the strain pain I get when I try someone's glasses. I don't wear any corrective glasses. How many polarized pairs have you tried? I consider myself very aware of warped lensing effects from various sunglasses and they take a bit of adjustment sometimes. I even noticed wavy warp lines once on a rental and had to do a fair amount of driving with one eye closed or else I'd get motion sickness
I’ve tried on a variety… I worked in the action sports industry so I’ve had access to high end glasses and goggles for a long time, even top of the line brands and what not. It’s the polarization. I wear goggles all the time and only wear spherical lenses because the flat shaped ones have too much distortion.
That sounds like you've tested this extensively. Ive never heard of this before. I have no further ideas. I wish you luck in avoiding polarized lenses :(
