Benefits of Polarized Glasses



Polarized Glasses

Sunglasses should make it easier to see in bright sunlight, yet many times that omnipresent glare overwhelms even the darkest lenses. That's because light reflection can increase glare and make it harder to see clearly. Polarized lenses help reduce this glare, so if you want to stop squinting when you wear sunglasses, contact Family Vision Center in Stratford and Bridgeport to get sunglasses that refine your ability to see.

It's Not Really the Sunglasses' Fault

If you've ever put on a pair of sunglasses and still had trouble seeing because of glare, bright light, and multiple reflection points; it isn’t necessarily the sunglasses fault. The pair you wore might have been inadequate for the situation because the lenses weren't the right type for those conditions.

When bright light hits a flat or near-flat surface, its reflections can become very intense and concentrated. Instead of having light bouncing in every direction, which can happen when light hits a curved or uneven surface, the light tends to reflect in one direction. Unfortunately for a lot of people, their eyes tend to be in the way of that reflection. As a result, the light goes right toward their eyes and creates an awful amount of glare that can at times be blinding. Think "bright afternoon sunlight reflecting off car hoods and trunks as you try to drive west," and you'll get a good idea of what polarized light is like.

All you have to do to combat this is to wear sunglasses that have polarized lenses. These lenses have a filter that helps block that bright reflection. It might still seem bright out, but you'll end up being able to see a lot more, and see it all more clearly.

Available for Prescription and Non-Prescription Eyewear

You can call Family Vision Center in Stratford at (203) 377-2020 or Bridgeport (203) 333-2020 to arrange to see an optometrist. Polarized lenses work in both sunglasses and regular glasses. Discuss your needs to help clear up your vision quickly.
