Glare from the sun is distracting and even dangerous – especially when driving. We’ve all experienced it, the road is wet, the sun low and the glare off the road surface makes it difficult to see anything in front of us – even with sunglasses. Polarized lenses cut-out reflected light, so the the bright, disabling glare is eliminated. Polarizing lenses look the same as sunglasses but what you see through them is far superior. Not only is glare cut-out, but colours look more vibrant. All polarized lenses offer UV protection as standard.

Importance of UV Protection
Protecting our eyes from UV radiation from the sun is as important as protecting our skin. A common misunderstanding is that UV protection is only required in summer. Actually UV protection is required all year round the only thing that changes is the time of day where sun exposure is highest. In summer, peak exposure to eyes in the mid morning and afternoon whereas in winter it is around midday. We recommend wearing optical grade UV protection sunglasses and contact lenses. The importance of UV protection is important from a young age. It’s estimated that up to 80% of a person’s lifetime exposure to UV radiation is reached before the age of 18 (World Health Organisation).
