Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses are a type of treated lenses designed to reduce glare and eye strain, improving vision and eye safety outdoors. Polarized glasses are chemically treated to block some light from passing through the lenses, reducing the effect of glare when outdoors. Polarized prescription sunglasses can be a good choice for those who spend a lot of time outside since polarized sunglasses better filter out harsh light causing eye strain than regular sunglasses.
