The sun can be good for our health, but at the same time it is also very harmful , both for the skin and for our eyes . Sunglasses are certainly part of our everyday lives, but are you sure and confident that you know all the options you have for protecting your eyes? Polarized sunglasses are one of the options that, if you don't know, you should definitely learn about today .
What exactly are polarized sunglasses?
Polarized sunglasses are characterized as such because of the special filter applied to the lenses . And this is exactly where they differ from the "classic" sunglasses that everyone knows and uses.
This filter has the ability to block certain wavelengths of light that are potentially harmful to the eyes.
Reducing glare is the main and very important advantage of the filter and therefore of polarized sunglasses. To understand the importance of this property, just think of an exceptionally bright day where you have difficulty seeing clearly.
For the above two reasons, polarized sunglasses are ideal for marine activities (since the sea has many reflections), for activities in the snow, or for sports activities.
How do you know if polarized sunglasses are right for you?
Many times, you may wear a pair of polarized sunglasses and see some "lines" on your cell phone or computer screens or even on various windows.
This does not happen to all people or with all Polarized lenses (it is not related to the quality of the lens), a specific Polarized filter may not match your eyes, so in this case either try another pair of glasses with the specific coating or look at glasses without Polarized coating.
So why add another pair of glasses to your collection?
Polarized sunglasses are much more than just another pair of sunglasses. At this point, we will focus on their utilitarian nature, without meaning that you can't find them in fantastic designs and colors . To determine if polarized glasses are suitable for your everyday life, mentally answer the following questions:
- Have you ever walked during the day and had difficulty seeing clearly even in front of you due to the very bright sun or reflections in the sea?
- Have you ever been driving on a particularly sunny day, but the reflection of the road ahead, mirrors or other lights makes it difficult to see other cars ?
- Have you gone out for a run and can't move easily because of the annoying sun hitting your eyes ?
- Are you sensitive to bright light , so you have difficulty moving outdoors when the sun is bright?
If the answer to even one of the above questions is "Yes", then you know that polarized sunglasses are the right choice for you.
What will you gain if you incorporate them into your daily life?
By acquiring a pair of modern polarized glasses for your everyday looks, you will ensure :
- Reduction of glare , so you can see very clearly, even when the sun is particularly intense.
- Reducing glare from bright light that prevents a clear view of the road while driving or at sea, thus reducing the risk of accidents.
- Reducing the amount of light reaching your eyes, which means less eye strain.
- Increased visual acuity , that is, the ability to more clearly distinguish things that may be further away, such as signs, for example.
Enjoy your daily sports and non-sports activities, walk and drive safely while protecting your eyes and skin by wearing polarized sunglasses.
