It can happen when you&#8217;re driving, playing sport, at the seaside or in the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To counter this phenomenon, a special technique was conceived called <strong>polarization<\/strong>, which <strong>reduces the sun&#8217;s glare<\/strong> and so improves safety and protects your vision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why are we sometimes dazzled by the sun&#8217;s rays?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In its natural state, light moves freely through space. When it encounters a reflective surface, such as a metal sheet, a lake, the sea, snow, sand or asphalt, it changes path and is <strong>partially reflected<\/strong>. That\u2019s how the annoying phenomenon of glare occurs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How does the polarizing filter work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Polarized lenses are distinguished polarized lenses are distinguished from non-polarized lenses, because a film is applied in the manufacturing process with a particular molecular structure that blocks electromagnetic radiation depending on its polarization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The polarized film is oriented in the lens along a precise polarized axis<\/strong> to stop rays reflected from other directions and to allow, due to its reticular structure, linear light to pass.<br \/>\nIn this way, our eyes focus the images more sharply and with better definition, significantly improving contrast and colour perception.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7226\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LTL-Academy-Lenti-polarizzate_EN.jpg\" alt=\"parametri-personalizzati_angolo-pantoscopico\" width=\"850\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How are polarized lenses made?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Glasses with polarized lenses are made from lenses that contain <strong>a polarized film placed between two lenses<\/strong>, and which are then soldered together to make a single lens.The images you see through polarized lenses may appear darker, but objects become clearer and more distinct and details more pronounced and precise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>That is partly why people who wear glasses with polarized lenses say <strong>their eyes are less tired<\/strong> after hours in bright conditions, compared to those who don\u2019t use polarized lenses<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s the difference between a polarized lens and a tinted lens?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tinted lenses are able to absorb light intensity, reducing its passage into the eye.<br \/>\nPolarized lenses, on the other hand, are able to absorb reflected light, ensuring vision is more comfortable and colour perception sharper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eye strain is caused by the fact that the pupils follow the reflected light, resulting in a continual expansion and contraction of the eye.<br \/>\n<strong>This eye strain can directly trigger headaches and migraines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Are all polarized lenses coloured?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, in that the film\u2019s ability to polarize is directly proportional to the film&#8217;s percentage and intensity of colour.<br \/>\n<strong>The higher the percentage of colour, the higher the lens\u2019 ability to filter reflected rays.<\/strong> The most common colours are Grey, Brown and Green. Darker colours ensure increased polarization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do polarized lenses block UV rays?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, <strong>all polarized lenses block 400 nanometre UV light (UV400).<\/strong><br \/>\nWe all know how important it is to protect our eyes from ultraviolet radiation, i.e. UV light, to avoid corneal disease and problems and to improve eye comfort.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who should wear glasses with polarized lenses?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Everyone! Besides the above-mentioned UV protection, and a reduction in the amount of light that penetrates the eye, the real strength of polarized glasses is <strong>being able to see clearly without eye strain<\/strong> under the continual torrent of reflected light.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>SUMMARY OF THE ADVANTAGES OF POLARIZED LENSES<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>1.
