Polarized lenses are the ideal sun protection for your eyes, whether in an urban environment or on the beach or in the mountains.
Definition of polarized lenses
The term polarized lenses refers to sunglass lenses specially treated to eliminate all parasitic reflections from glare. These lenses are equipped with anti-reflective filters, added to UV treatments, at least category 3, which protect your eyes from solar radiation.
The polarized lens maintains perfect thinness and aesthetics, as the filter adds no unsightly thickness. Most current sunglass frame models are now available in two versions, with or without polarized lenses. The latter offers more secure protection, especially in extreme sports contexts practiced in environments highly exposed to the sun, such as the sea or the mountains.
The advantages of polarized lenses
Ultraviolet rays reflect off surrounding materials. They notably reflect off asphalt roads, then reflect into your windshield, and then to your irritated retinas. Dust and parasitic elements then create hazy halos and optical effects like swarms of butterflies preventing clear vision. The effect is similar for water sports, as ultraviolet rays are strongly reflected by the deep blue sea or your swimming pool. The polarized lens, equipped with its specific filter, eliminates these visual imperfections, increases contrast, and makes vision comfortable and clear, even in the brightest contexts.
The dangers of imprecise vision when practicing water sports, horse riding, motor sports, or urban freeriding on a bike with wall and reflective concrete parapet crossings are thus eliminated.
