The hottest months of the year are upon us and while some
are enjoying the sunny skies, rising temperatures and beach holidays, others
are escaping to the mountains and some are struggling to get by in the
scorching summer heat.
No matter how you're spending the summer, the one accessory
you cannot step out without this season is sunglasses. However, not all
sunglasses are made to protect you from the sun's damaging rays.
Most people look at
sunglasses merely as a fashion accessory, but sunglasses are meant to do more
than improving your fashion sense or keeping you from squinting. They are meant
to protect your eyes from the sun. After all, eyes are one of the most
sensitive parts of the body and protecting your eyes from the sun can save you
from several ailments like skin cancer, cataracts & glaucoma. Only
sunglasses with polarized lenses provide full protection against the sun’s UVA
and UVB rays.
Why should you opt for polarized sunglasses?
Polarized Sunglasses Reduces Glare
Do you squint to see clearly on a sunny day? It is because
of the sunlight reflected off of water and solid surfaces. Sunglasses with
polarized lenses are coated with a special film that reduces glare and thus
helps you see clearly.
Polarized sunglasses are also safer to wear when driving as
it eliminates the glare and improves eye comfort.
Polarized Sunglasses Help See Below Water Surface
If you love the beach or like water sports, sunglasses with
polarized sunglasses are a must for you as it makes it easier to see into the
water. Without polarized lenses, the water’s surface reflects everything around
it and obscures view into the water almost completely. Polarized sunglasses
block this reflection and help you see below the water surface instead of the
sky's reflection on the water.
Polarized Sunglasses Reduces Eyestrain
Being outdoors on a sunny day can give you a headache
sometimes. When you squint to see clearly, it stresses your eyes and causes
headaches and migraines. Polarized sunglasses helps to minimize eyestrain and also give comfort .
Polarized Sunglasses improve Clarity of vision
Polarized sunglasses improve clarity in vision and quality
of daytime vision. It gives a better visual contrast compare to ordinary sunglasses . Colours appear clearer, bolder
and brighter in polarized lenses.
How to check if your glasses are polarized?
1. Look at a computer screen while wearing sunglasses. If
the monitor’s brightness changes as you tilt your head left and right, you’re
wearing polarized sunglasses.
2. Look at your phone in portrait orientation, then turn it
to landscape orientation. If brightness changes as you do this, your sunglasses
are polarized.
