The sun’s rays reflect light in every direction, so when a ray hits a flat surface, the reflected light shines back at your eye and is magnified, causing glare. It reduces your depth perception, distorts your view and color perception. Regular sunglasses are designed to only reduce the amount of light that is transmitted through the lens horizontally and vertically. But the polaroid layer on the lenses of sunglasses is designed to absorb horizontal light waves, while still allowing vertical waves to pass through. Because light only travels in one direction through polarized lenses, glare is eliminated.
Advantages:
Reduce Glare - On a sunny day, you may notice that objects in the distance appear hazy, or nearby vehicles are reflecting light in a way that is nearly blinding. A polarized lens removes the effects of glare by blocking reflections. This improves eye comfort and allows you to take in the view without squinting
Water Sports - Without polarized lenses, the water’s surface simply reflects everything around it. This obscures view into the water almost completely. Polarized lenses block this reflection and enable the wearer to see the contents of the water instead of the sky.
Reduce Eyestrain - Another nasty side effective of glare, eyestrain can be relieved with polarized lens wear.
Better Vision - Wearing polarized lenses can reveal colors and images like never before. You will see crisply and cleanly, with a level of detail that may astound you.
A polarized lens can also be photochromic - the lens gets darker or lighter depending on ambient light levels. We also have polycarbonate polarized lens which is more impact-resistant for industrial use.
