Understanding Polarized Sunglasses:
What You Need to Know

When it comes to sunglasses, one feature that often comes up is polarization. But what does

it mean and is it really better than non-polarized sunglasses? We'll delve into the topic and provide you with a comprehensive guide on polarized sunglasses.

​

Polarization 101

First things first, let's define polarization. A polarized lens is designed to reduce glare and reflections from flat and smooth surfaces such as water, snow, and sand. The technology behind polarization involves a special filter that blocks certain light waves while allowing others to pass through. This results in a clearer and more comfortable vision, especially in bright environments.

​

Polarized vs. Non-Polarized Sunglasses

It's important to note that both polarized and non-polarized sunglasses provide essential UV protection.

​

However, non-polarized lenses treat all sunlight equally and reduce the overall intensity, while polarized lenses are specifically designed to reduce glare. Whether or not you should opt for polarized sunglasses ultimately depends on your intended use. If you spend a lot of time around water or other reflective surfaces, then polarized sunglasses may be a good investment. However, if you primarily use sunglasses for everyday activities like driving or walking, then non-polarized sunglasses may suffice.

​

The Pros and Cons of Polarized Sunglasses

While polarized sunglasses are great for reducing glare and improving clarity, they do have some downsides. For one, they tend to darken the scene more than non-polarized lenses. This can be a problem in certain situation. When trying to view screens such as phones or GPS devices the screen might not show in certain cases. Additionally, polarized lenses can be more expensive than non-polarized lenses and can limit your options when it comes to customization.

​

Why Some Premium Brands Choose Not to Polarize?

Despite the benefits of polarized lenses, some premium brands choose not to offer them. One reason is that producing polarized lenses can be more expensive and time-consuming, resulting in higher costs and minimum order quantities. Furthermore, some luxury brands prefer the clear sunglasses look and feel that non-polarized lenses offer.

​

Ultimately, the decision to offer polarized lenses comes down to each brand's unique goals and priorities.

In conclusion, polarized sunglasses are a great option for reducing glare and improving clarity, especially in environments with reflective surfaces. However, they may not be necessary for everyday use and can come with some downsides. Whether or not to opt for polarized lenses is a personal choice that depends on your intended use and preferences.
