You’ve probably heard of Polarised lenses before, but why are they more expensive and what are you getting for the extra money? Well, quite simply…they are better lenses. Whichever brand you opt for, the Polarised lenses are going to protect your eyes better and give you an improved clarity of vision. This is down to a filter inside the lens which completely cuts out horizontal light or glare. This filter stops your eyes from straining more than they need to in extremely bright sunlight. Polarised lenses are a must have for anyone who drives for prolonged periods of time or even if you are spending time around water.
We have all been sat on a beach when the sunlight reflects off the sea, causing you to squint and even drop your ice-cream! This is exactly the kind of light that Polarised lenses cut out and are the perfect add-on to your favourite set of sunnies.
There are a few brands that focus on Polarised lenses more than others. For example, Oakley Sunglasses and Ray-Ban Sunglasses pride themselves on the quality of their Polarised filters and continue striving to improve them on a seasonal basis. Other brands focus solely on Polarised lenses; Revo Sunglasses for example. Every pair in the Revo range has Polarised lenses and they provide great clarity of vision whilst keeping costs down. The same can be said for Dirty Dog Sunglasses which utilise Polarised lenses in almost all of their frames for a fraction of the price of other brands.
If you are going away this summer or need perfect vision right here in blighty, our advice would always be to opt for Polarised.
