Polarized
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, polarized sunglasses are a good choice of eyewear. These lenses don’t come standard on every pair, but they’re available in many styles of shades. They help you see better in very bright conditions.
Polarized lenses in sunglasses do double duty. They don’t look different from regular lenses, but they work harder. As tinted lenses, they help protect your eyes from harsh sunlight and guard against harmful UV rays. Then they take it a step further. They contain a built-in filter that helps disperse horizontal sun rays that, when concentrated, can make it uncomfortable to be in the sun. This filter reduces the glare caused by sun reflecting off of flat surfaces, such as bodies of water, roads, or snow, so when you look at these things, you see vibrant color, not halos of bright light.
This feature comes in handy when you’re driving, so the road ahead appears clear, not hazy. It’s also helpful when you’re on the water, and you’re surrounded by sunlight reflected off the surface. If you’re around snow, you can avoid annoying snow blindness. You’ll see more comfortably, since you won’t squint as much against the offending glare.
These lenses are available in both men’s fashion sunglasses and sport eyewear. They’re available whether you wear oversized designer shades; sleek, rimless styles; or protective goggles. They’re treated to guard against 100% of UV rays, and resist scratches.
Many polarized sunglasses also feature top-of-the-line attributes like high-tech flexible hinges to make each wear comfortable. Optical grade materials like zyls, polycarbonate and titanium make for durable frames that will last for years. Adjustable nose pieces and temple tips help ensure a custom fit. They come with a case and cleaning cloth so you can keep them looking new wear after wear.
Don’t rule out polarized sunglasses if you wear eyeglasses. You can get your favorite shades fitted with tinted corrective lenses so your vision will be crisp and clear even out in the sun. No one will know that your sunglasses actually have prescription lenses in them. Drive, ski, cycle or sail in comfort and safety.
No matter what you do outdoors, whether it’s leisurely driving or boating, or taking part in more active pursuits, like cycling or skiing, polarized sunglasses are a good choice to optimize your vision and enhance your outdoor experience.
