What’s the difference between polarized sunglasses and regular sunglasses?
Regular ‘tinted’ sunglass lenses are available in a variety of colours and densities, and can suit many needs. In order to provide optimum eye health, sunglass lenses must meet particular UV standards to be considered safe. Polarized sunglass lenses eliminate blinding glare for greater safety, provide more accurate colour perception for unrivaled visual comfort, and offer 100% protection against harmful UV rays. Polarized lenses are particularly helpful in bright light conditions such as water sports, driving, and golfing. All sunglasses sold at the McLeod Optometry clinic meet the ANSI requirements for safe sunwear.
