What is it?
POLARIZED
What are they?
Polarized sunglasses contain a special
filter that helps to reduce glare. The
lenses, which first became available in
1936, are especially popular with outdoor
enthusiasts, such as boaters and joggers
who often come into contact with
intense reflected light from the surface
of water or pavement, respectively. However, they are also available in everyda y
sunglass lenses and can make images
more clear and crisp.
Anti-reflective coatings are thin layers that are added to a lens to reduce the amount of light reflected
off the front of the lenses as well as to cut down on
the glare that the wearer sees while wearing the
lens. Anti-reflective coatings can improve vision
and reduce eye strain.
