How to know if you need polarized sunglasses

Pairs of sunglasses come in different frame shapes and lens tints and can even be corrective.
What's more, sunglasses can be fitted with different surface treatments to give them extra options or features.
For example, the lenses of your sunglasses can be polarised, if required.

What do polarized sunglasses offer?

The primary mission of sunglasses is to protect the eyes from UVA and UVB rays.
However, sunglasses can be fitted with many other options to offer the greatest possible visual comfort.
For example, sunglasses lenses can be polarised by your optician.
The main purpose of polarising lenses is to reduce glare.
Light can reflect off flat surfaces, creating reverberation.
This reflection of light in the eyes can be very unpleasant and, above all, can impede good vision of the immediate environment.
Polarized sunglasses are also designed to improve contrast and colour perception.
Thanks to all these advantages, polarized sunglasses offer optimum visual comfort.

Are polarised lenses right for me?

Sunglasses with polarised lenses can be suitable for anyone looking for visual comfort.
This type of sunglasses is particularly suitable for people who are sensitive to glare.
Polarized sunglass lenses are especially useful for road users.
As a matter of fact, road surfaces often create a reverberation effect, particularly in bright light.
Drivers are therefore safer with polarised sunglasses, since glare can lead to accidents.
Polarized sunglasses are also ideal if you live in or visit the mountains.
The snowy surface is highly conducive to the reverberation of light.
Finally, if you enjoy outdoor sports such as cycling, hiking or water sports, polarized lenses are also for you.
The only real contraindication is if you spend a lot of time in front of a screen, as polarised lenses are not compatible.
To find out whether having your sunglasses polarised is right for you, talk to your Optical Center optician.
