Polarized Lenses VS Non-Polarized Lenses
Why polarized lenses SHOULD be the standard!
Stops Glare
A polarized lens removes the effects of glare by absorbing horizontal light from reflective surfaces such as water and allowing the vertical light through.
Big Advantage in Water Sports
The polarized lenses make it immensely easier to see creatures and objects under the water's surface.
Enhanced Vison
Glare can wash out colors, lessen detail, decrease contrast, and reduce the quality of vision.
Reduced Eye Strain
No glares will eliminate uncomfortable eyestrain and even health problems caused by glare in severe cases.
UV Ray Protection
High-quality polarized sunglasses offer superior eye protection from the sun's harmful rays.
- Blunt Impact
- Radiation
- Splashes and Droplets
- Dust particles
ANSI Z87.1 certified glasses go through extensive testing to ensure they protect the wearer's eyes from even the most extreme cases of the hazards above.
