FAQ
What are polarized sunglasses?
Polarized sunglasses are a type of eyewear designed to reduce glare and enhance visual clarity. They have specially treated lenses that filter out intense light reflected from horizontal surfaces such as water, roads, and snow.
How do polarized sunglasses work?
Polarized lenses contain a special chemical film that is vertically aligned. This alignment allows the lenses to block horizontally polarized light, which is the type of glare typically reflected from flat surfaces. As a result, only vertically oriented light can pass through, reducing glare and improving visibility.
What are the benefits of polarized sunglasses?
Reduced Glare: Polarized lenses minimize glare from reflective surfaces, making activities like driving, fishing, and skiing safer and more comfortable.
Enhanced Visual Clarity: They improve contrast and visual clarity, allowing for better color perception and detail recognition.
Eye Comfort: Reduced glare means less eye strain and fatigue, especially during prolonged outdoor activities.
How can I tell if my sunglasses are polarized?
You can test if your sunglasses are polarized by looking at a reflective surface or an LCD screen through the lenses. If you rotate the sunglasses and the intensity of the glare or reflection changes, the lenses are polarized.
Do Lakoh polarized sunglasses offer UV protection?
Yes, all Lakoh sunglasses, including those with polarized lenses, come with built-in UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.
Do polarized lenses come in different colors?
Yes, polarized lenses come in various colors. Each color can affect how much light is filtered and the type of light that passes through. For example, gray lenses reduce overall brightness without altering color perception, while brown lenses enhance contrast and depth perception.
Can prescription sunglasses be polarized?
Yes, you can get prescription sunglasses with polarized lenses. Lakoh offers the option to add polarization to your prescription lenses, combining vision correction with the benefits of glare reduction.
How do I care for my polarized sunglasses?
Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner designed for sunglasses. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or harsh chemicals as they can scratch or damage the lenses.
Storage: Keep your sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and other damage.
Handling: Handle your sunglasses by the frame rather than the lenses to avoid fingerprints and smudges.
