100% UV Protection
While the sun has many different rays, UV rays are the most harmful to our eyes. UVA and UVB rays are the two basic types of sunlight that reach earth’s surface. Sunglasses are designed to reflect both UVA and UVB rays.
UVA rays are up to 50 times more prevalent than other types of light and account for 95% of UV radiation.
UVB rays are more prevalent at higher altitudes and even penetrate on cloudy days. UVB rays are the cause of sunburns.
Polarization
Sunlight scatters in all directions. But when it strikes flat surfaces, the reflected light tends to become polarized, meaning the reflected rays travel in a more uniform (usually horizontal) direction.
This intense light is known as glare. Always annoying, it can be dangerous for your eyes’ health.
When a lens is polarized, it has a built-in filter that blocks bright, reflected light. When the glare is reduced, your eyes feel more comfortable and you can see your surroundings more clearly.
