Sunglasses are one of the best ways to protect your eyes against damaging UV rays, but what if you need additional features or prescription sunglasses? That’s why Eye E Place offers custom polarised sunglasses tailored to your exact eye care and vision needs.

What Are Polarised Glasses? 

Key Takeaway: Polarised sunglasses feature a special coating that reduces glare and enhances visual clarity. Custom polarised sunglasses can reduce eye strain and glare and make it easier and safer to perform outdoor activities. 

Polarised Glasses: Defined

When light hits a flat surface, such as water, it reflects back horizontally at one angle rather than scattering. This creates a glare that can make it difficult to see clearly. 

In some cases, a glare is simply annoying. Maybe you can’t see your fishing lure or you struggle to see a baseball as it soars into the outfield. But for activities such as driving, a harsh blinding glare can lead to serious injuries. 

Polarised lenses, also known as anti-glare lenses, have a special coating that restricts how much horizontal light can enter the lens. This reduces glare and optimises visual clarity, making polarised glasses important for a variety of activities.  

Whether you are a golfer, athlete, biker, fisherman, hiker, drive often in bright conditions, or have an outdoor job, polarised lenses may be an appropriate solution.

Polarised Prescribed Sunglasses 

For prescription sunglasses, there are many important factors to consider beyond sun protection. For instance, I had a patient come in recently who was struggling with glare while spending long hours on the road for his job as a truck driver. He was wearing prescribed sunglasses but they lacked polarisation. 

The glare was causing him to strain his eyes for hours at a time, causing discomfort and fatigue. Once he tried prescribed sunglasses with polarised lenses, he could not not believe the difference. He said he now enjoys his job more, stays more alert, and feels much safer driving. 

Whether you deal with glare during an outdoor job or need clearer vision for enjoying time outside, polarised sunglasses may be an excellent solution. 

Along with anti-glare coating, custom prescribed sunglasses can be made with convenient features to match your lifestyle and eye care needs. 

Here are some of the customisation options we offer at Eye E Place for prescribed sunglasses: 

• Anti-UV coating
• Polarised lenses
• Tinting
• Enhanced colour contrast
• Adaptive lenses 
• Mirror coatings

Benefits of Polarised Glasses 

Polarised sunglasses offer several advantages, especially for outdoor enthusiasts or individuals who work outside. 

If you spend a lot of time in direct sunlight, work outside, or do activities near water, polarised sunglasses offer benefits, such as: 

• Reduced Glare — One of the biggest benefits of polarised sunglasses is glare reduction. The glare reduction is especially noticeable near water or snow. 
• Eye Protection — Well-fitting polarised prescribed sunglasses provide a barrier for the eyes against wind or irritants. 
• Enhanced Colour — Enhanced vision clarity is another advantage of polarised prescribed sunglasses. Bright light can cause colours to blur together and become hard to distinguish. By enhancing colour contrast and reducing glare, visual clarity is improved, especially in bright light. 
• Improved Visual Clarity — Polarised sunglasses make images appear clearer by reducing glare.
• Reduced Eye Strain — Squinting for hours in bright light can cause eye strain and fatigue. Polarised lenses can help reduce eye strain by eliminating glare and overly bright lighting. 
• Higher Safety — Glare can make it more difficult to see clearly while driving or doing your outdoor job. If bright lights prevent you from seeing an obstruction in the road while driving, it can lead to accidents. Polarised glasses increase visual clarity and ensure you can see clearly, even in highly reflective environments.
• Increased Depth Perception — Polarised sunglasses can help improve depth perception. 
• Versatile — Polarised sunglasses are beneficial in a wide range of environments. If you need prescribed sunglasses, you may enjoy polarised lenses for water sports, boating, hiking, working outside, golfing, sailing, fishing, driving, biking, relaxing at the beach, and more. 
• UV Protection — Many polarised prescription sunglasses feature 100% UV protection to guard your eyes against harmful UV rays.
