You get a polarized lens. Polarized lenses work by not letting light through that is oscillating in a horizontal direction, which is all very complicated but means that it eliminates reflective glare. If you're walking on snow a lot (glaciers) or around water (fishing, surfing, kayaking), then they're fantastic. For everyday life, doesn't make any difference.
