Sunglasses do more than just block sunlight—they protect your eyes and improve visual comfort. But what’s the deal with polarized lenses, and do you need them?

What Are Polarized Sunglasses?

Polarized lenses have a special coating that filters out horizontal light waves, which cause glare—especially from water, roads, and shiny surfaces.

Benefits of Polarized Lenses:

• • Reduce glare from reflective surfaces

• • Improve contrast and clarity

• • Great for driving, boating, skiing, and outdoor sports

• • Reduce eye strain in bright conditions

When to Choose Non-Polarized Lenses:

• • Indoors or in low light conditions

• • Looking at digital screens or dashboards (polarized lenses can distort displays)

• • Fashion-focused use without glare concerns

Which One Should You Choose?

Choose Polarized if:

You drive often, spend time on the water, or need high clarity in bright sunlight.

Choose Non-Polarized if:

You mainly wear sunglasses for style or in conditions where glare isn’t a major issue.
