Polarized lenses are made from a special polarizing film that is applied in the factory on the front surface of the lens. This film allows light rays to be filtered, consequently improving the vision in strong light conditions. Polarized lenses will protect you from UV rays, glare and intense light. In combination with a reflection-free coating, polarized lenses are ideal for any type of outdoor activity such as boating, fishing, golfing, hunting, jogging, and biking.

Drivers find that polarized lenses can greatly reduce the glare that comes off long, flat surfaces such as the hood of the car or the surface of a road.   Whether you spend your time waterskiing or boating, in-line skating or mountain biking, driving or jogging, polarized lenses may be the right choice to help you enjoy your life outdoors. 

Polarized lenses can also be used indoors by light-sensitive people such as post-cataract surgery patients or by those exposed to bright light through windows.   

Additionally many types of lenses can be polarized including bifocal, progressive, presbyopia, and photochromic lenses which change from light to dark based upon changing light conditions.
