Frequently asked questions
What are the main benefits of polarized sunglasses?
Polarised lenses are designed to eliminate glare — the intense, reflected light from surfaces such as water, snow, and roads. By filtering out this glare, they enhance contrast and provide sharper visual definition. This not only makes your vision more comfortable but also improves clarity, allowing you to see objects more clearly in a range of conditions.
What materials are used for polarized lenses and frames?
The polarised sunglasses in this collection are made from a variety of durable, high-quality materials.
- Frame Materials: Options include acetate, metal, titanium, and nylon, among others. Brands like Maui Jim and Oakley also use advanced materials.
- Lens Materials: Lenses are crafted from materials such as CR-39, polycarbonate, and Trivex, all known for being lightweight, optically clear, and impact resistant. Some models also include photochromic technology, which allows the lenses to darken automatically in sunlight.
Are polarized lenses only for sunny days?
While polarised lenses are highly effective in bright, sunny conditions to reduce glare, their benefits extend beyond that. They also enhance visual comfort and clarity on cloudy or overcast days by reducing diffused light and providing a sharper, clearer view — making them a great all-round option.
How do I know if my sunglasses are polarized?
A simple way to check if your sunglasses have polarised lenses is to look at a reflective surface (like water or a car window) while wearing them. Slowly tilt your head to the side — if the glare seems to disappear or change noticeably, the lenses are likely polarised. You can also look for a “Polarised” filter or label on the product page to confirm this feature.
Is the polarization feature available for all sunglasses?
Not all sunglasses are polarised — it’s a specific feature that needs to be selected or confirmed on the product page. Certain brands, such as Ray-Ban polarised sunglasses, are especially known for their advanced polarisation technology, so it’s always a good idea to check the product details or use the “Polarised” filter to find models with this feature.
