What are polarized lenses and what are the benefits?

Polarized lenses are a type of eyewear technology that can enhance your visual experience and protect your eyes from glare. The ActiveDim glasses are an excellent example of eyewear that provides polarized lens technology. In this blog post, we will explain what polarized means, how it works and its benefits, using the ActiveDim glasses as an example.

What are polarized lenses?

Polarized lenses are designed to reduce glare, which is the reflection of light from surfaces like water, snow, and glass. Glare can cause eye strain, fatigue, and even headaches, especially when driving or engaging in outdoor activities. Polarized lenses work by blocking certain types of light waves, reducing glare, and improving visibility and color contrast.

How does polarized lens technology work?

Polarized lenses have a special filter that blocks glare-causing horizontal light waves, allowing only vertical light waves to pass through. This eliminates glare and reduces reflections, resulting in a clearer and more comfortable visual experience.

Benefits of polarized lenses

The benefits of polarized lenses are numerous, and they can enhance your visual experience and protect your eyes in several ways:

  • Reducing glare: As mentioned before, polarized lenses reduce glare, making it more comfortable to view reflective surfaces like water, snow, and glass, it can also make it safer to drive or engage in outdoor activities by reducing the glare from the road and other surfaces.
  • Improving visibility and color contrast: Polarized lenses can enhance visibility and color contrast, making it easier to see details and distinguishing colors in the environment, which is especially important for activities such as fishing, hunting, boating, and skiing.
  • Providing UV protection: Many polarized lenses, such as the ActiveDim glasses, provide 100% UV protection, which means that they effectively block all UVA and UVB rays, protecting your eyes from harmful UV radiation.
