Information On Sunglasses Lens Types

By Essie Osborn


It is very important for a person to protect his eyes from exposure to the sun. A lot of light which comes from the sun may cause some harm to the human eye especially for those with sensitive eyes. It is therefore important that one gets to know all about sunglasses lens types so that he can get those that will be best for his eyes.

When you are able to understand the differences in the various lenses there are, you will be in a position to make a good decision when purchasing a pair for yourself. We all enjoy spending some time out in the sun but do not stop to think how this could affect us. With the great sensitivity of the eyes, extended periods exposed to the sun could have devastating effects. This is the reason why one should have all relevant information about these items which can be very helpful.

Different lenses will provide their own level of protection to the eye so one should choose depending on their eyes and not just randomly. Polarized lenses tend to be more effective than the regular ones in terms of protection. The regular items reduce the amount of light getting to the eyes because they are uniformly tinted. The polarized devices on the other hand are tinted in a tiny and parallel line of rays which bounce back light in the form of waves.

The polarized type of lenses cut down on the glare that occurs as a result of reflection by certain surfaces like water or objects such as metal objects with a shining effect. Translucent objects may also cause glare when they reflect light. The gadgets can hence be used by those who experience sight problems while in bright areas. The items make an object appear clearer and less shiny.

These devices have their downside though. While looking at an LCD display, the images might appear distorted in a way and clarity is not very good. A sign that they do not offer the best clarity is when you experience a rainbow effect for instance if your car windows are tinted. They are still very useful though to drivers because they help the driver in getting a good view where he is headed.

Another type of lenses is the super durable serilium ones. They are widely common among those looking for adventure. The poly-carbonate that is used in their manufacture is special in some way and it gives a very good clarity.

It is also very light and the materials making it are strong. This type of poly-carbonate is the only one known to be strong enough such that it can stand the impact from flying gravel. This type of sunglasses does not only protect against sun rays but also can protect one from flying gravel.

When making a selection of the items, consider the number of layers there are. Layers do not work very well with lenses because they affect the vision. When the number of layers between the eyes and the object being viewed is increased, the chances of that image become distorted are higher. The optical accuracy is also reduced. One should find out all the necessary information he or she can concerning these items before acquiring them.
