Which Is Better, UV Sunglasses Or Polarized Sunglasses?
Sunglasses, as a common protective accessory in daily life, mainly function is to protect the eyes from strong light stimulation and reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the eyes. However, polarized sunglasses and UV sunglasses have significant differences in protective effect and visual experience.
Ordinary UV sunglasses, it is also known as non-polarized sunglasses. The lenses are mainly tinted lenses, which mainly reduce the light intensity and prevent ultraviolet rays, but don’t have the function of blocking or converting polarized light, and can’t effectively block and eliminate the reflection from bright surfaces and the glare from all directions.
Do you know what is glare? In outdoor environments, apart from ultraviolet rays, there is also glare. When these light rays hit uneven roads and water surfaces, they will produce irregular reflected light, which can affect the clarity of our vision and cause discomfort and easy fatigue for our eyes.
For Polarized sunglasses, there is a polarizing coating in the surface of the lenses, which can block light in a certain direction, thereby achieving an anti-glare effect. When you are active in the sun for a long time or driving outdoors, you will not get tired easily and your vision will be clearer to get true protection for eyes.
It is recommended to wear polarized sunglasses when driving. Polarized sunglasses can block some glare and filter out the reflected light from the ground or oncoming vehicles, thus making the field of vision clearer, reducing visual fatigue and facilitating safe driving.
When engaging in outdoor activities such as fishing, mountain climbing, skiing and beach vacations, it is better to wear polarized glasses as there is more glare in outdoor environments, minimize the irritation of glare caused by reflection from horizontal surfaces such as water, snow, glass, and generally provide greater comfort.
