Polarised lenses reduce strong glare reflected from roads, water and other horizontal surfaces. They can be fitted to suitable existing frames, with or without prescription, after the frame and fitting have been checked.
How does polarisation work?
A special filter mainly blocks horizontally reflected light, improving comfort and often contrast in environments with strong glare.
Where are they most useful?
They are popular for daytime driving, boating, fishing and outdoor activities. Compatibility with digital displays and motorcycle visors should be checked.
Polarisation and UV protection
They are not the same feature. Polarisation reduces glare; UV protection concerns ultraviolet absorption. Ask for confirmation of both.
Replacing lenses in an existing frame
An optician checks whether the frame is stable and suitable. You can discuss tint, gradient, mirror finish and prescription power where required.
What to check before ordering
- 100% UVA/UVB protection confirmed
- Suitable filter category for intended use
- Frame condition and precise fitting measurements
- Compatibility with displays, visor and daily activities
- Clear information about warranty and care
