Polarized lenses work by filtering out horizontally polarized light, which is the primary cause of glare, while allowing vertically polarized light to pass through.
How Do Polarized Lenses Work?
Polarized lenses reduce glare by filtering out horizontally polarized light, which typically bounces off flat surfaces like water or roads. This helps prevent eye strain and enhances clarity by allowing only vertically polarized light to pass through.

What does‘polarized sunglasses'mean?
polarized sunglasses will block out the horizontal blinding glare that causes you to squint. As the sun hits the surface horizontally, it will bounce off the surface causing the glare. polarized lenses block that glare using an anti-glare filter to create vertical openings for light to pass through. Not only do they make colours more distinguishable, but they also add clarity to your vision by reducing glare from the sun. Glare can be annoying and dangerous as it alters colours and causes visual discomfort, so polarized sunglasses can help you to see more clearly.
How to tell if sunglasses are polarized?
With the aspects of polarized lenses in mind, you can determine whether your sunglasses are polarized by looking through the lenses towards a reflective surface, such as water or pavement.
