   Fishermen know that the use of glare-reducing sunglasses with the proper polarization axis allows for the blocking of this partially polarized light. By blocking the plane-polarized light, the glare is reduced and the fisherman can more easily see fish located under the water. Polarization by Refraction

   UV light is an invisible type of non-ionising radiation emitted from the sun. UV consists of UVA, UVB and UVC light ranging between 100 to 400 nanometres (nm). Polarized lenses use a chemical film called a polarizer which block glare. Lenses can be both UV400 and polarized. Darker sunglasses aren't more UV protective.

   Feb 29, 2024 · Polarized sunglass lenses (also called anti-reflective lenses) are designed with vertical openings so that only vertical light can get through. This not only helps block reflected light but also helps focus sunlight, reducing overall light interference and helping clear up your visual field.
