Polarized Glasses

What does it mean that my lenses are Polarized?

In addition to the redduction of glare, they also ease strain from your eyes, when you are exposed for a long time to the sun.

Polarized lenses also increase the visual clarity and contrast, making it easier to enjoy the environment.

Little tip for fisherman or boaters: Polarized lenses make it easier to see below the surface of the water, so you can see what’s coming.

How are glasses Polarized?

During the manufacturing process, a special chemical is applied to an eyeglass lens to polarize it. The chemical is laminated in a vertical pattern, which reorganizes light. This pattern blocks the light that is horizontal to eliminate glare, which is similar to how a window blind works.

Glare typically happens when waves of light bounce off reflective surfaces, such as a lake, snowy hillside, or shiny car bumper. Because the surface is horizontal, the light is reflected horizontally. When you are wearing polarized sunglasses, the surface blocks the glare by filtering out the horizontal light waves that don’t fit through the chemical laminate pattern.
