ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF POLARIZED LENSES?
Comfort: Polarized lenses reduce eyestrain, squinting and eye fatigue associated with
glare, for more comfortable vision in the sun.
Performance: Polarized lenses enhance visual performance by increasing visual acuity
and improving color contrast. Reduction of glare causes objects to become more distinct
and colors more vibrant.
Protection: Polarized lenses provide superior protection for the eye against harmful
sunlight including glare and UV light. Certain polarized colors also reduce high-energy
visible (HEV) light, which can cause damage to the
retina.
POLARIZED TECHNOLOGY:
Although ordinary sunglasses reduce brightness, they do not remove reflected glare. To protect your eyes you need polarized sunglasses that eliminate glare from reflective surfaces, and reduce transmission of harmful sunlight. Polarized lenses are the ultimate in protection, comfort and performance in the sun.
HOW THEY WORK:
A polarized lens has a polarized film that is cast into a lens to
filter out unwanted light. Light normally travels in many
different directions. When light hits a reflective surface like
water, snow and sand, it becomes concentrated in one direction,
resulting in reflected glare. The principle of a polarized lens is best illustrated by observing the use of venetian blinds. The blind blocks light at certain angles, while allowing light to transmit through select angles.
True polarization is achieved by shutting out 100% of undesirable light (glare) and allowing 100% of desired light through.
