Polarized sunglasses: The Best Option

Among them, polarized lenses stand out, a type of lens that combines eye protection with the best style.

What types of sunglasses exist?

If you want to change your sunglasses for new ones, the first thing you should ask yourself is what use you are going to give them. And there are several types of sunglasses, suitable for different uses. For example, photochromic sunglasses adapt quickly to changes in light and polycarbonate lenses are recommended for athletes and people who lead a very active life.

On the other hand, mirror lenses prevent your eyes from seeing through the glass and polarized lenses absorb the reflection, providing clearer and sharper vision. The latter also offer a series of extra advantages that have made them increasingly popular.

How do you know if your glasses are polarized?

Nowadays it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye whether glasses are polarized or not. However, there is a test that will help you quickly verify this. To find out if lenses are polarized, stand in front of a screen that is polarized, turned on, and place your glasses on the monitor. Rotate your hand so that the glasses move 60º. If you notice that the lenses are darkening, it means that they are adapting to the type of light. Therefore, they are polarized.

Benefits of polarized glasses

With this small test we have been able to verify one of the most characteristic advantages of this type of lens. Polarized sunglasses filter the light they receive from a specific direction, thus creating a clearer vision and avoiding glare.

However, beyond these specific moments of use, polarized sunglasses have been gaining presence in our most everyday activities due to another series of benefits:

• Reduction of visual fatigue.
