Polarized lenses filter the sunlight that reflects off roads, snow and windshields, neutralizing most or all of it. The result is a safer driving experience, free from the distraction and discomfort of glare. Some people might feel like non-polarized sunglasses cooperate better with the lower contrast of total cloud cover. It should be noted that driving with polarized sunglasses in certain snowy or icy conditions can be less safe than using a non-polarized alternative.
Any patches of iced snow or black ice, which is already barely visible, may become even harder to see without surface reflections. Digital screens, like the ones on your smartphone, laptop and TV can sometimes look different when viewed through polarized lenses. Instead of sunglasses, your eye doctor may suggest that you wear computer glasses to block blue light and make screen time easier on your eyes. Find an eye doctor near you and make an appointment. Both polarized and non-polarized sunglasses are available with prescription and non-prescription lenses.
Rotate the polarizer and notice that at one orientation of the polarizer, the surface reflections are greatly reduced and you can see beneath the surface of the water. Rotate the polarizer 90 degrees from this orientation, and the surface reflections block your view of the underwater world. This is why people wear polarizing sunglasses when they go fishing.
The lightbulb produces unpolarized light—each photon is vibrating in its own different direction. Nonmetallic surfaces, such as black plastic, tend to reflect light that is vibrating parallel to the surface and transmit or absorb light vibrating in all other directions. If the black plastic is horizontal, then it reflects light that is vibrating horizontally, creating horizontally polarized light.
The horizontal black plastic reflects less light that is vibrating vertically. The polarizer lets through light vibrating in one direction and absorbs light vibrating in all other directions. When the black surface is horizontal, the reflection looks dimmest when you hold the filter so it lets through just vertically vibrating light.
The reflection looks brightest when you hold the filter so it lets through just horizontally vibrating light. Horizontal surfaces in the environment, such as the asphalt of a street or the surface of a lake, reflect light that is vibrating horizontally.
Polarizing sunglasses absorb this horizontally oriented glare. If you tilt your head sideways, this horizontally oriented glare passes through the glasses, making the surface look brighter.

This light can become polarized, resulting in glare that can interfere with your vision by striking the eyes intensely. Only polarised lenses can remove this glare. Polarised lenses are laminated with tiny vertical stripes that only allow vertically angled light to enter the wearer's eyes.
Glare is eliminated because the horizontal light waves cannot bypass the vertical filter. Sunglasses and camera lenses are often polarised to reduce glare from surfaces, such as light reflecting off a lake or the bonnet of a car.
How Do Polarised Lenses Work? When light bounces off of a surface, its waves tend to be strongest usually horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. This is called polarization.
Like Venetian blinds, the horizontal rows of iodine crystals contained within the polarised lens block out horizontal polarized light waves, letting only non-polarised vertical light waves reach the eye. The person looking through the lens can still see clearly in most cases, but it reduces the brightness and glare of light. This results in comfortable vision with no glare, and is the reason why only a polarised lens can block glare.
