Benefits of polarization

Polarised lenses selectively filter horizontally reflected, visually interfering light waves known as ‘glare’.

The elimination of direct and ambient glare results in superior visual clarity, definition, colour transmissions and optical comfort. They accomplish this feat through a process called ‘polarisation’, much like a ‘venetian blind’ controls sunlight through a window.

Polarised lenses have a laminated surface containing vertical stripes. These stripes only allow vertical polarised light to enter your eyes. Glare is eliminated because the horizontal light is unable to pass through the polarised filter.

Polarized lenses are used in sunglasses to reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as a body of water, the bonnet of a car, or any surface the sun can bounce off. The only way to eliminate glare is to place a polarised lens in its path.
