What are Polarised Glasses?
Polarised glasses are designed with special lenses that block horizontal reflections produced by surfaces such as water, roads or snow. Unlike conventional sunglasses, polarised lenses reduce glare, providing sharper vision and more natural colours.
Benefits of Wearing Polarised Sunglasses
Reduction of Reflections and Glare
One of the main benefits of polarised lenses is their ability to eliminate uncomfortable reflections. This improves driving safety, makes outdoor activities more enjoyable and protects the eyes from visual stress.
Improved Contrast and Visual Clarity
Polarised glasses enhance contrast and improve definition, allowing you to perceive details with greater precision. This is especially useful for water or snow sports.
UV Protection
All our polarised sunglasses offer UV400 protection, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays, essential for preventing long-term eye damage.
Differences between Polarised and Non-Polarised Glasses
Although they may look the same, the functional difference is huge. Non-polarised glasses simply darken the light, while polarised glasses selectively filter it to eliminate glare. The visual comfort obtained with polarised lenses is remarkably superior.
How to Choose the Best Polarised Sunglasses
Considerations on Lens Type
When choosing polarised lenses, it is important to consider the material, the quality of the filter and the level of UV protection. Polarised lenses should be resistant and offer distortion-free vision.
The importance of UV400 protection
The UV400 label ensures that the lenses block all ultraviolet radiation. It is an essential standard for any good pair of polarised sunglasses.
Frame Design and Comfort
Choose a model that combines functionality and design. Comfort when wearing them is key, especially if you are going to wear them for long periods of time.
Care and Maintenance of Polarised Glasses
To preserve the optical quality of your polarised sunglasses, clean them with a microfibre cloth and store them in their case when not in use. Avoid leaving them in the sun in the car, as the heat can damage the polarised filter.
User Opinions on Polarised Glasses
Users highlight the visual comfort, the significant reduction in reflections and the improvement in colour perception. Many agree that after using polarised glasses, they no longer want to go back to conventional ones.
Prices of Polarised Glasses: What to Expect?
The price of polarised sunglasses can vary between €40 and over €200, depending on the brand, the materials and the lens technology. At BARNER we offer models with excellent value for money and premium polarised lenses.
