What Are Polarized Lenses?

Polarized lenses are a specialized type of lens that cut out all forms of glare. This can be from artificial light, natural light, and even reflections. Those who most often use these lenses are post-cataract surgery patients, drivers, joggers, golfers, bikers, skiers, fishermen, and boaters.  

How Do Polar Lenses Work?

So how do polarized lenses keep glare out of your eye? It’s all in the lens. A filter is included over each lens to prevent the unsightly effects of light movement.

There are a few types of polarized lenses to choose from. Polarized photochromic lenses shift according to the amount of natural light outside. Polarized progressive lenses are ideal for those who participate in outdoor activities and have presbyopia.

You may have a hard time using your smartphone or other mobile devices when wearing these lenses because the screen isn’t as clear. It may also be difficult to see light-emitting diode or LED screens as well as liquid crystal displays or LCD screens.
