What is the difference between polarized and tinted lenses?
There is quite a bit of confusion regarding the different lenses available for outdoor use. Polarized lenses work very well if you enjoy time on the water (i.e., fishing, boating). Tinted lenses are available in various colors and are a bit less expensive. With either choice, you must request ultraviolet protection to protect your eyes from the damaging rays. Some of our patients like the Transitions lens which automatically darken when you are in the sunlight. Your optician will assist you and show you demonstrations to make your selection successful.
