Are polarized sunglasses recommended for Daily use??

Question

I have selected Police brand sun glasses for me, but I have seen Ray ban polarized sun glasses which were 1.5times expensive than normal sunglasses.

What are polarized sun glasses means & are they worth buying??

Answer 1

i think they just cut the glare.. but their are cheaper glasses which come polarized.

Answer 2

Polarized is just another addition to your glasses (like a program on a computer).  I'm not entirely sure what it is physically but I think it's an extra layer in the lens that makes brighter things darker, the brighter the thing the darker they get.  while they do make the glasses cost more, having your glasses polarized is simply awesome.

If my description was to vague, go to a store find a pair of polarized glasses, walk to the door and hold them up to the sky (not through the window as it might not work)  rotate the glasses and look through the lenses and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Answer 3

When lenses are polarized colors are brought out more and easier to distinguish. So objects appear more distinct and easier to recognize.  I'd reccomend them, they're great for driving.

Answer 4

polarized lenses are very good and worth it. It truly eliminates harmful rays. You should also see if it eliminates UVA and UVB rays. those are the most harmful.  

Answer 5

Polarized lenses work similarly to a Venetian blind. Light rays vibrate in many directions and window blind only lets in light at certain angles, which is how a polarized lens works.

There is a film between the front and back lens surface that channels the light rays to travel in the same direction that eliminates glare.  

When you wear polarized sunglasses, objects become more distinct and are seen in their true colors.  Glare off of water, roads, and other objects make the polarized lens great for water sports, fishing, cycling and driving.

Yes they block out 100% UV radiation and you will have more comfortable and clearer vision. NOTE: There are some things that polarized lenses do, that bugs some people:

1. Creates a rainbow effect when looking our the side of your car window.

2. Does not allow you to see digital watches, polarized dash boards or instrument panels in aircraft and the screen on your mobile phone.

Nevertheless, a great investment for a great pair of sunglasses.
