Polarized Sunglasses

Polarized Prescription Sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses and other eyewear should be about expressing individuality through style and looks as well as functionality, and 1stchoicespecs' goal has been to deliver just that. If you're looking for the perfect pair of polarized sunglasses, then look no further than our unlimited range of designer brands for eye protection and polarized lenses.

The joy of spending time outdoors in the sun can be quickly forgotten when you are reminded of the sun's glare in your eyes, which is uncomfortable and potentially causes you eye damage. In general, sunlight will bounce around off uneven surfaces, but if the surface is even such as a calm body of water or a flat road, that light will reflect in one angle and straight into your eyes causing you eye strain. Fortunately, polarized sunglasses can reduce sunlight glare and help to improve your vision and eye safety in the sun.

When looking at sunglasses it's important to understand the difference between polarized and non-polarized lenses. Both are great at protecting against UV protection, however, UV protection lenses alone don't prevent glare, so it's important to select sunglasses that are both polarized and offer UV protection. In addition to UV protection, polarized sunglasses offer extra benefits.

1stchoicespecs' polarized lenses have a particular chemical applied to them to filter sunlight. This chemical's molecules assist in blocking some of the harsh horizontal light from passing through the lens. The result of this engineering is that through polarized sunglasses, the optic may be a bit darker than usual, but objects and details will look cleaner and sharper, and much easier to see. Additionally, polarized lenses will enhance comfort for the individual, reduce eye strain and improve visual precision.

polarized sunglasses also filter blue light as this light scatters more than any other colour, and the UV protection combined with an advanced blue light glasses filter ensures the best outdoor experience for your eyes possible.

When to use polarized Sunglasses

If you are an outdoors enthusiast, polarized sunglasses need to be an eyewear staple in your life. When considering polarized sunglasses, think of the polarized lenses as a tool for fine-tuning your vision while wearing sunglasses. They are especially useful if you find yourself in high-glare situations. There are certain situations and conditions where these sunglasses are imperative for protecting your eyes against harmful UV glare:

Driving – flat roads on a bright sunny day attract strong and harsh UV glare. It is important to protect your eyes and vision on the road to eliminate glare where possible and reduce the risk of dangerous driving.

Biking – similar to driving, polarized sunglasses can prevent any harmful glare on bike paths that may interfere with the biker's vision and potentially endanger them or others. Skiing – Through the use of polarized lenses, glare is reduced and assists skiers to distinguish the snow from ice. This allows skiers to continue their ski path safely and avoid any dangerous situations. Fishing and boating – Glare can reflect very easily off smooth water surfaces and therefore, polarized sunglasses are the most appropriate option when out on the water for any water sports activity. Sheet Metal work - Sheet metal workers and work include fabricating or installing products that are made from thin metal sheets, such as ducts used in heating and air conditioning systems. As the surface of the metal is flat, light is reflected evenly causing a strong sunlight glare which polarized sunglasses can mitigate.

Bushwalking and other sports – Basically, any activity that takes place outside in the sunlight can benefit from polarized sunglasses. Many people find that polarized lenses are the best for most outdoor activities in general due to glare reduction.
