Prescription Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a necessary protection against harmful UV sun rays.
Not only do sunglasses protect you from the light, they also provide clearer vision, preventing the glare from the sun to impact your sight. Squinting is uncomfortable and often leads to headaches whilst also causing wrinkles. Therefore, investing in a pair of quality sunglasses is a must. But do you also wear prescription glasses because contact lenses are too uncomfortable for you? If so, you’ll need a pair of prescription sunglasses to offer you impeccable vision whilst also providing enough shade from the sun. At For Eyes, you can consult with our optometrists who will help you determine the type of prescription sunglasses that best suits your needs.
What does polarized mean on prescription glasses?
Polarized lenses are made from a special polarizing film that is applied in the factory to the lens. This film allows scattered light rays to be filtered, consequently improving vision in strong reflected light conditions. Polarized lenses are a must for the water and beach, protecting you from UV rays, glare and intense light.
Polarised sunglasses can look exactly the same as standard sunglasses, but their lenses feature a polarising film that changes the way light reaches your eyes.
Why do glasses need to be polarized?
Polarized, or anti-glare, sunglass lenses reduce light glare and eyestrain. Because of this, they improve vision and safety in the sun. When working or playing outdoors, you can become frustrated and even temporarily blinded by reflected light and glare.
What are the benefits of polarized lenses?
A virtually invisible filter can be built into lenses to eliminate the amount of reflected light that enters the eye. Polarized lenses not only reduce glare but also make images appear sharper and clearer, increasing visual clarity and comfort.
They’re especially useful for people with certain eye conditions that make them more sensitive to light, such as cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and uveitis (a type of eye inflammation). They’re also helpful for protecting the eyes after surgery that may cause more sensitivity to light, such as cataract removal or laser correction.
What colour-polarized lens is best?
This often comes down to personal preference, but the best lens colour options for driving are usually grey, green or brown. Grey or green is generally better for bright, hazy, sunny conditions. Brown is often better for cloudy, overcast days and rain.
Is it okay to wear polarised sunglasses all the time?
There are some situations where it’s not a good idea to wear polarised sunglasses. It’s difficult to see LCD screens clearly through polarised lenses, so people who rely on LCD screens for high-risk or critical work (like pilots or machine operators) should avoid wearing them.
