Looking great in your sunglasses is key, but protecting your eyes is just as important. Choosing a polarized lens helps to reduce the glare that causes strain on your eyes. They can especially help with glare reflected off horizontal surfaces like snow, the road, and open water.  You may also notice that colors appear more vibrant with better contrast.

When a lens is polarized, it has gone through a specific process to filter out this intense glare—and better protect your eyes. The lenses are coated with a chemical filter that blocks the glare. This can make it more comfortable for your eyes when you’re spending time doing your favorite outdoor activities.
