THE LIGHT reflected by large flat surfaces - water bodies, glass, asphalt & pavement, metal, etc. - is partially or fully polarized in the horizontal direction. This means that all photons of the rays oscillate (vibrate, fluctuate) in a single plane - but in different directions! |
Some animals and birds have at times better vision than humans. For example: an eagle flying at an altitude of 200-300 meters above the terrain is capable very clearly to see a small field mouse on the ground.WHAT SUNGLASSES WITH POLARIZED LENSES REPRESENT IN FACT?
FIRST SUNGLASSES with a polarized filter were made by Polaroid and launched in 1937.
◤ Optical science today, as well as the used materials and technologies, have gone far ahead, of course!
SUNGLASSES WITH POLARIZED FILTER ARE RECOMMENDED FOR...
DRIVING & SPORTS
The reflections and glare of the sunlight from certain flat surfaces, such as roofs, shop windows, building walls, massive fences, road pavement, etc., stress the eyes and hinder your concentration on the environment. Polarized glasses eliminate this inconvenience, which also manifests itself during longer trips, outdoor sports, walks and outings in the open air.

CAREFULLY CHOOSE THE LENSES COLOR OF YOUR SUNGLASSES DEPENDING ON THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH YOU'LL BE WEARING THEM AND THE ACTIVITIES WHICH YOU'LL BE PERFORMING. EVERY INDIVIDUAL COLOUR AFFECTS YOUR PERSEPTIONS IN A DIFFERENT WAY! |
GREY LENSES : Their biggest advantage lies in the fact that the colors that you see while wearing them are as close as possible to their natural nuances. Due to this, they do not cause fatigue after wearing them for a long time, which makes them suitable for daily use. They are perfect for maximum reduction of the reflections and glare from intensive sunlight. The most popular lens color in the USA.
BROWN LENSES : The same improve the contrast and sense of depth in the image. They are most suitable for driving and fishing in shallow waters. The lenses with a lighter shade of brown are suitable for wearing in cloudy weather and are suitable for skiers. The color is very popular among fashion designers, since it is considered as underlining the beauty of the face.
GREEN LENSES : They allow the passing of the blue light which makes them suitable for sunny to partially cloudy weather. Preferred shade for tennis playing and provide a soothing effect on the eyes.
BLUE LENSES : They allow the passing of the blue light which makes them suitable for sunny to partially cloudy weather. Preferred shade for tennis playing and provide a soothing effect on the eyes.
RED LENSES : They are predominantly chosen by athletes and active people. They are suitable for outdoor bright locations, providing a strong contrast of the image.
ORANGE LENSES :They filter out the blue light and improve the sense of contrast. They are suitable for hunters and marksmen, since the targets are easier to spot through them.
YELLOW LENSES : They also filter out the blue shaded light. They provide a high level of contrast. The same are most often chosen by sporting marksmen. They are recommended for driving on cloudy days and in fog, and it is no coincidence that the fog lights of vehicles are yellow in color.
In France, for example, all the lights (short / long) of the headlamps were obligatory in yellow, but in 1993 the white light rule came into force due to the development of new technologies : halogens, mercury, etc...
THERE ARE CERTAIN DISADVANTAGES USING SUNGLASSES WITH POLARIZED LENSES
If you look at an LCD display at a certain angle throughout such glasses, for example to an LCD TV screen or monitor, you will not see anything. In fact, this is one of the easiest ways to check whether your glasses are actually provided with polarized filtering lenses. While looking at a flat reflective surface - turn them around at about 90 degrees. The brightness of the glare should either increase or decrease.
- You should not expose them to high temperatures! Such as on the dashboard under the windshield in the summer when the sun is strong. There is a high probability layers of which the lenses are made to peel off.
SUNGLASSES WITH POLARIZED LENSES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR:
SKIERS IN THE MOUNTAIN : |
Even though they successfully minimize the reflections from the snow, while skiing downhill you might fail to notice iced stretches. Every skier knows what this means! |
|
AVIATION PILOTS : |
The glares reflected by these glasses might be from another plane or flying object. This is especially important from a safety point of view. However, it should be noted that these are extremely rare cases. |
