Best Polarized Safety Glasses at Prescription Safety Glasses Canada
Polarized Safety Glasses are a very popular style of lens that is great for those who spend time under bright UV rays. They are excellent for a majority of jobs and recreational activities like construction, biking, boating, motorcycling, driving, and even golf course maintenance. Polarized lenses filter and reduce glares, eye stress, and eye fatigue without sacrificing clarity and performance. All polarized safety glasses are ANSI Z87.1 certified with a very high UV protection percentage (99% or higher).
Polarized safety glasses have become very popular with those who spend time under the bright sun. Whether your activity is construction, fishing, biking, running, boating, motorcycling, driving, or any combination of these, you should consider the move to polarized safety glasses.
The key to their popularity is a special polarized lens filter that reduces glare without sacrificing clarity, performance or durability. This polarized filter significantly reduces eye stress and fatigue caused by excessive glare from surfaces that commonly reflect bright sunlight, such as water, ice, glass or paint from other automobiles. For most, once they've worn a pair of polarized prescription safety glasses or sunglasses, they never go back to standard lenses. All Polarized Safety Glasses are ANSI Z87.1-2015 certified with the added benefit of 99.9% UV protection.
Polarized Safety Glasses Canada FAQs
Polarized safety glasses block out polarized light or glare with a vertically layered film on or inside them. This leads to our next question. What are the benefits of polarized safety glasses? Polarized lenses reduce the amount of reflected light entering the eyes. They combat glare, providing comfortable, crisp vision without the painful brightness that causes you to squint.
The sun emits vertical wavelengths of light. When those wavelengths hit shiny surfaces such as water, fresh asphalt, or metal, they rebound at a 90-degree angle. This creates horizontal, or polarized, light waves. Polarized lenses combat glare with a chemical compound. Molecules in the compound naturally run parallel to one another on the horizontal axis. When applied to a sunglass lens, the molecules create a microscopic filter that absorbs light, matching their alignment. Polarized lenses allow vertical light to pass through while blocking intense reflective glare.
An easy way to tell if your prescription safety glasses are polarized is to grab your phone, laptop, tablet, or your nearest electronic screen. Look at it with sunglasses on and turn the screen from side to side. Polarization will often make digital display screens look odd — you might see a rainbow on the screen, a slight 3D effect, or it will look completely black. This is because things like smartphones and car dashboards already have a polarized filter on them. Putting two polarized filters over each other causes them to cancel one another out.
The answer to this question is based on your environmental conditions and optical preferences. Polarized lenses are extremely useful, if not necessary, for many sports and outdoor activities. They're the key to spotting fish beneath the surface of the water and avoiding potholes on the road. You're especially vulnerable to harsh glare when driving, because of the amount of glass and metal surfaces light bounces off.
On the contrary, polarized lenses make it difficult to see digital devices — you’ll need to take them off when looking at one. Additionally, designed for bright light, they can be unsafe to use at nighttime. They can also affect your depth perception, which is why we don't recommend polarized lenses for golfing, baseball, cycling, or mountain biking, where depth perception is essential.
