polarised lenses

 

 

Glare-free living
Ordinary sunglasses soften sunlight but do not protect you from harsh reflected white light 'glare'– Polarised lenses provide that extra performance for all year round protection from polarised light.
 
Better contrast and clearer
By eliminating glare that causes eyestrain, squinting and general discomfort, Polarised lenses enable you to benefit from clearer vision that is sharper, more vibrant and has greater depth of clarity. Wearing Polarized lenses means you will feel more comfortable and relaxed whether reading, enjoying outdoor sports or driving.
 

100% UV protection

Polarised lenses offer 100% protection form harmful UV rays that cause irreparable damage to your eyes.
 

Anti-reflective coating

All Polarised lenses are available with an anti-reflective coating. This coating virtually eliminates reflections on the surface of your lens and so makes your spectacles and you more attractive to look at.
Live life in full colour
High performance polarised lenses eliminate the harsh glare that can bounce off water, snow, glass and metal. As a result, they add a new dimension to life for those who enjoy outdoor activities – from sailing, skiing, angling, and golfing to cycling and especially driving. Discomfort from glare affects us all and the new Polarised lens range is designed for both prescription and non-prescription wearers whatever your lifestyle.
 

How do polarise lenses eliminate glare?

When sunrays hit a smooth reflective surface they 'polarise' and travel either horizontally or vertically. Vertical light brings useful information to the eye, enabling us to see colours and contrasts, whereas horizontal light creates harsh white 'glare' or 'dazzle'. This glare is most harmful when relfected off a smooth or mirrored surface such as vehicles, pavements or water. A thin film with vertical rows of iodine crystals is embedded into the surface of each Polarised lens – this acts as a Venetian blind only allowing the useful rays through to your eyes.
