Polarised lenses are different to standard sunglass lenses; they have a special film either sandwiched between two other layers of the lens or applied to the front of a lens. What this special film does is eliminate glare off a surface like a pavement, road, water or snow.

Lightwaves from the sun travel in all directions but when sunlight strikes a surface, it becomes concentrated – this polarised light as it is called causes glare. A polarised lens will eliminate this polarised light. The result is the ability to see light in its pure state. Objects will appear more defined, sharper and naturally coloured. Instead of squinting to minimise glare, a polarised lens will allow your eyes to see colours with true clarity.

These sunglasses can be used for driving and, in fact, can reduce glare from a long, flat road surfaces or the windscreens of vehicles around you.
