Are polarized sunglasses better?

The pros and cons of polarized sunglasses

Most pairs of quality sunglasses now come with polarised lenses.
This type of lens offers many benefits and visual comfort in many circumstances.
However, wearing sunglasses with polarised lenses is not always better than wearing sunglasses with conventional ones.

What makes polarized sunglasses better than non-polarized

Sunglasses with polarised lenses have many undeniable advantages over clear lenses.
Indeed, these specific lenses increase daily visual comfort, thus preventing eye strain.
Polarised lenses also allow a better colour perception than with non-polarized lenses that can darken them.
Unlike conventional sunglasses, the contrast is sharpened and darkness or brightness affect us less.
But the main benefit of polarized sunglasses over traditional lenses is their ability to reduce glare.
Indeed, these lenses are specifically designed to prevent or deal with glare from light reflecting off a surface.
This makes them particularly suitable for driving, water sports and outdoor activities.
Standard sunglasses may also be suitable, but they will be less effective against the reflection of light from asphalt, water or snow.

Reasons for choosing regular sunglasses over polarized ones

First, sunglasses with polarised lenses are not suitable for everyone.
They can cause some people to have a feeling of dizziness or visual disorientation.
In addition, polarized sunglasses are not recommended when you are driving at night.
Indeed, these lenses have a light dimming effect, leading to a poor perception of headlights, which can be dangerous when driving at night.
Furthermore, polarised sunglasses can make digital interfaces or LCD screens look fuzzy.
Indeed, the fact that these lenses block horizontal light interfere with the good perception or reading on these digital displays.
Finally, sunglasses with polarised lenses are generally more expensive than conventional sunglasses, which can be a barrier for some people.
