Why Consider Polarised Lenses?

Polarised Sunglasses optimise visual clarity, improve colour contrast and block out 100% of UV rays. Polarised lenses are coated with thin vertical stripes that stop horizontal light waves from entering your eyes. This means that the blinding glare from light bouncing off surfaces such as roads, windscreens, water and snow, is blocked from reaching your eyes.

The benefits of polarised lenses

Many people who have tried polarised sunglasses find that you may never go back to standard sunglasses. Polarised lenses contain a unique filter that blocks horizontally reflected light rays. This significantly reduces glare by only allowing the vertical light rays to pass through the lens.

Polarised Sports Sunglasses

Polarised sunglasses can significantly enhance sporting performances, a benefit particularly noticeable in activities like fishing. The polarised lenses help achieve clearer vision by reducing glare from water surfaces, which is crucial for anglers. This improved clarity allows for better perception of the underwater environment and quicker reactions, both essential for successful fishing.

What's The Difference Between Standard and Polarised Lenses?

Glare can hit your eyes from the road, the bonnet, windscreen of a car, water surfaces and any other horizontal plane the sun can reflect off. The difference between the two lenses is very apparent when you hold them next to one another.
