A Few Facts About Polarization and Why All Sunglasses Should Be Polarized!

• Ordinary sunglasses only reduce the amount of visible light entering the eye. Your eyes already have that natural ability. Polarization provides a level of light management that ordinary sunglasses do not have the ability to perform. Only polarization offers a true working technology that eliminates glare and delivers incomparable performance.
  
• Polarizing a lens is the process of laminating on (cheap), or casting in (the way we do it) a polarizing film to a lens. Our polarized film consists of poly-vinyl alcohol molecules running in horizontal parallel chains. These chains act as a filter to block out light that bounces off horizontal reflective surfaces such as water, the highway, or the moisture in the air around you. This reflected light is 7 to 10 times brighter than ambient light and is commonly referred to as glare.
  
• The real problem is glare. Although not quite as intense as a flash bulb, reflective glare has a cumulative effect that over the course of a few hours in the sun, will produce the same effect as a flash bulb. Many vision problems associated with night driving are rooted not only in the ability to see at night, but the lingering effects of exposure to glare during the daylight hours.
  
• Like a camera, the eye must adjust to the glare in the foreground so it mutes the lower light levels. If you eliminate reflected glare, the remaining light falls in a narrow range of intensity allowing your eyes to relax and enjoy greater depth perception and true color contrast.
• Polarized lenses block 100% against harmful UVA and UVB Rays.  Polarization also enhances your vision in bright light conditions, resulting in better long-term eye health.
