Polarized sunglasses block glare off of reflective surfaces such as open water, snow-covered landscapes or the road on a sunny day. If you want to wear Wiley X sunglasses to shield your eyes from impact and ultraviolet rays, consider getting this eyewear with polarized lenses. Discover the tint and finish options available for non-prescription Wiley X lenses or prescription polarized lenses.
The Benefits of Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses are coated with a chemical that reorganizes the transmission of light. A vertical lamination process blocks horizontally reflected light to eliminate glare. Sunglasses with polarized lenses reduce the blinding glint off of surfaces.
Wearing polarized sunglasses can limit eye exposure to brightness that intensifies light sensitivity. This lens treatment also enhances visual acuity, contrast and overall clarity. Polarized lenses may have a cumulative effect of reducing eye fatigue during prolonged sun exposure.
