What does it mean for sunglasses to be polarized?

Polarized sunglasses feature a special filter that blocks light reflected off horizontal surfaces like water, snow, or asphalt, reducing glare and improving visual clarity. This filter allows only vertical light to pass through the lenses, providing more comfortable and sharper vision.

Which is better, polarized or regular sunglasses?

Polarized sunglasses offer significant advantages over regular ones by reducing glare and enhancing visual clarity and contrast, especially in environments with reflective surfaces. However, they may make it harder to view LCD screens and certain electronic devices. The choice depends on the user's specific needs and activities.

What makes polarized sunglasses special?

Polarized sunglasses are special because they filter out light reflected from horizontal surfaces, reducing glare and improving visual clarity and contrast. This makes them particularly useful for outdoor activities like fishing, boating, and driving, where reflections can be problematic.

When should polarized sunglasses be used?

Polarized sunglasses are recommended in situations with high glare, such as daytime driving, water sports, or winter sports, as they reduce reflections from asphalt, water, and snow, improving both safety and visual clarity.

What is vision like with polarized lenses?

With polarized lenses, vision becomes more comfortable and sharper under bright light conditions. Glare is significantly reduced, and contrast and color perception are enhanced, resulting in a more natural and relaxed visual experience.

What are Polarised Glasses?

Polarised sunglasses have become an essential accessory for those looking to combine visual health and style. Thanks to their ability to filter out annoying reflections, they offer clearer and more comfortable vision, especially in sunny environments or near water. Whether you call them polarised sunglasses, polarised sun lenses or polarised glasses, their usefulness is universal.

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.
