What are Polarized Glasses?

What are Polarized Glasses?

It is not easy to enjoy the sun's beauty when its glare blinds you. Direct sunlight can be dangerous to your eyes. Luckily, today's glasses can be modified using polarization to minimize glare. If you want to purchase polarized glasses to improve your vision and safety in the sun, look no further than Vision Source Castle Hills in San Antonio, TX.

Vision Source Castle Hills

At Vision Source Castle Hills, our optometrist, Dr. Trevino, offers professional eyecare for his clients. Our optometrist will provide the perfect prescription glasses to enhance the enjoyment of your time outdoors. We have lenses with polarized coatings that block the sun's glare to make it easier to drive and see better during the day.

How Do Polarized Lenses Work?

Polarized glasses have a laminated filter that blocks the intense glare of sunlight, reducing discomfort and glare. When sunlight strikes flat surfaces, the light reflected by these surfaces seems to be more polarized, and the reflected beams travel in a more uniform direction. Polarized lenses work by reducing the glare from surfaces such as water, glass, and snow to help people see better and avoid potential hazards.

Polarized glasses help you see a bit darker than usual, but the images are crisper and clearer. When you use polarized glasses for long periods, your eyes will be less tired than usual at the end of the day, even after spending a significant amount of time in the sun.

Why Use Polarized Glasses?

Apart from the obvious reason to improve your visual comfort, polarized glasses are also recommended to improve contrast and visual clarity, which allows for a true perception of colors. When you use polarized sunglasses over non-polarized ones, you also reduce your eye strain as your eyes' reflections are reduced, and so is the glare.
