What Are Polarized Glasses?

Polarized lenses are a particular type of glasses that helps to protect the eyes from the powerful glare of sunlight, which can not only cause poor visibility but also can lead to damage to the eyes. Individuals who spend a great deal of time working outdoors, or those who enjoy outdoor recreational activities, can enjoy greater comfort and safety with polarized lenses.
 

How Do Polarized Glasses Protect Your Eyes?

Ordinarily, light scatters randomly at it hits the eyes, which can cause severe glare that can be blinding. Polarized glasses have a specific type of chemical coating whose molecules line up to block a portion of the light from passing through the lens. The coating produces a kind of filter that only allows horizontal light rays through the openings.
 

How Polarized Glasses Differ From Regular Glasses

Polarized glasses are different than regular glasses, even when glasses protect against harmful ultraviolet rays. Polarized glasses offer the benefit of reducing glare, which can help improve safety and the ability to see clearly for certain tasks.
