What Is Polarisation?
Polarised lenses cut through glare, offering the best clarity and glare-free vision. Glare is created when the sun hits horizontal surfaces like snow, water, asphalt and other cars. It also reduces vision acuity causing eyestrain and fatigue. Polarising lens technology removes glare and the stress that comes with it. Driving in glare can be extremely dangerous, hindering your vision and creating blind spots when looking at the road. By choosing a polarised lens, you're ensuring your eyes stay sharp and safe from strain.
Benefits of Polarisation
1. Reduce Eye Strain
Polarised sunglasses reduce eye strain and fatigue, and help prevent the discomfort and potential damage caused by prolonged exposure to bright light.
2. Cuts Through Glare
Polarised sunglasses cut through glare from reflective surfaces like water, roads, and snow, providing clearer vision in bright conditions.
3. Better Colour and Visual Clarity
Polarised lenses enhance colour perception and visual clarity, offering a more vibrant and sharp view of your surroundings.
Lens Types
1. Photochromic Lens
Photochromic lenses adjust according to your environment. These are perfect for people who move indoors and outdoors regularly or are sensitive to light. Not only does a photochromic lens enhance your vision in low-light environments, but it also increases colour contrast and creates amazing depth perception. Photochromic lenses are perfect for high-glare situations and provide the ultimate protection against UV rays.
Photochromic technology works by adjusting the molecules inside the lenses, causing them to lighten and darken in differing conditions. The technology is injected into the glass meaning it will never wear off or out.

2. Glass Lens
Glass lenses are an ideal choice for those prone to scratching their lenses, as their hard surface provides exceptional visual clarity and durability. Mineral glass, in particular, is the most scratch-resistant lens material available, offering distortion-free vision. These lenses not only resist everyday wear and tear but also maintain their clarity over time, making them a reliable option for long-term use.
Additionally, glass lenses typically have better optical properties compared to plastic lenses, delivering superior sharpness and colour accuracy. Whether you're engaging in outdoor activities or simply seeking the best in lens durability and clarity, glass lenses are an excellent choice.
3. Anti-Reflection Lenses
Anti-reflection (AR) lens technology in sunglasses enhances visual clarity and comfort by reducing glare and eliminating reflections from the lens surfaces. This technology involves applying a multi-layer coating to the lenses, which minimises the amount of light that reflects off both the front and back surfaces. By doing so, AR lenses increase light transmission and reduce eye strain, especially in bright environments. This results in clearer, sharper vision with less glare, making AR-coated sunglasses an excellent choice for outdoor activities and driving, where visual precision is paramount.
