Polarized Glasses Help Reduce Glare and Tired Eyes
There’s nothing worse than driving down the street and having the sun hit your eyes. The glare momentarily blinds you. Maybe you are at the beach looking out at the water, and the rays catch your eyes. Our optometrist at New Vision Optical Wilmette has a solution for dealing with glare.
How Can Polarized Glasses Help?
The sun’s rays approach you vertically, but when they hit a shiny or smooth surface, the rays will bounce horizontally. That’s what catches your eye and causes you to look away. Polarized lenses can help reduce that glare.
Lenses in polarized glasses have been treated to help filter the light that gets through to your eyes. They permit natural light to go through, allowing you to see things but filter out the horizontal light that causes the glare.
This means you won’t experience that blinding effect. Reducing the glare means you will be able to see more clearly and in more detail. Polarized lenses will let you better see all of your surroundings with improved contrast.
Do Polarized Glasses Protect Your Eyes?
Reducing the glare can keep you safer on the road. It can also reduce eye strain when your eyes have to deal with the glare. Eye strain can lead to tired eyes and headaches.
Aren’t All Glasses Polarized?
Regular glasses help you see better, but they will not stop the glare unless they have been polarized. Regular or prescription sunglasses will help, but they won’t do the job either if they haven’t been polarized.
Polarized glasses will help protect with glare, and they will also protect you from harmful UV rays.
Can Prescription Glasses Be Polarized?
Prescription glasses can absolutely be polarized. Make an appointment with us and we can fit you with the right prescription of polarized glasses.
