The Traditional Lens (Grey) These lenses allow in 87% of visible
light. Gray lenses transmit light
evenly allowing the wearer to see
colors as they naturally occur. All
of our Polaroid lenses are made of
optical grade polycarbonate
polarized lenses with a 7 layer back
side anti reflective coating to
reduce back side glare. All
Polaroid sunglasses block 100% of
harmful ultraviolet light.
The Brown Lens (Including the above features) These
Brown Polarized lenses allow in 78%
of visible light. The Brown Lens is
designed to block a high percentage
of blue light. Blue light is at the
dark end of the visible light
spectrum and is the most difficult
light to focus, especially as the
eye ages. These lenses improve
contrast by accentuating the
brighter colors.

WHAT ARE POLARIZED LENSES? Glare is everywhere and is due to
the reflection of light on smooth
surfaces. It gets worse when the
surface is shiny. That’s the case
with water, snow and even certain
roads or buildings. When driving,
glare can be dangerous, blurring
your perception and causing visual
discomfort and eye fatigue. These
polarized lenses eliminate 99% of
horizontal glare and block 100% of
harmful UV rays.
WHY ARE POLARIZED LENSES A BETTER
CHOICE THAN STANDARD TINTED LENSES?Tinted sunlenses reduce the amount
of light and darken your vision, but
do not address the glare problem and
don’t necessarily block 100% UVA and
UVB radiation. These polarized
lenses allow optimum light levels in
for maximum comfort, clarity and
more accurate color perception.
They also eliminate headaches and
fatigue caused by eyestrain.
WHAT LENS COLOR IS THE BEST CHOICE
FOR ME? Gray lenses are the most
color-neutral. They transmit colors
evenly and are comfortable in
bright, medium and intermittent
light.
Brown lenses are becoming
increasingly popular, especially
among women. Brown lenses enhance
color contrast and preserve depth
perception for activities such as
driving, fishing, winter sports and
golf.
Mirror coated lenses offer increased
light absorption in the bright sun,
as will as fashion forward
appearance.
SAFER DRIVING VISION Polarized polycarbonate lenses
eliminate direct and reflective
glare and can withstand the impact
of deployed airbag.
GREATER COMFORT OUTDOORS Polarized polycarbonate lenses
reduce the intensity of sunlight to
more comfortable levels, thus
helping to prevent eyestrain,
fatigue and headaches caused by
glare.
SUPERIOR EYE PROTECTION FOR SPORT Polarized polycarbonate lenses are
10 times more impact resistant than
other lenses.
MORE COLOR OPTIONS Gray: All-purpose, true color
vision. Gray is best for the
intense glare and bright sunlight
encountered when driving, boating or
deep-water fishing.
Brown: For improved contrast in
bright conditions such as driving,
golf, winter sports, and shallow
water fishing.
MORE COMFORTABLE TO WEAR Lightweight polarized polycarbonate
lenses reduce pressure on the
wearer’s face and stay comfortably
in place.
HOW POLARIZATION WORKS As light waves travel away from
their source, they vibrate in all
directions equally. This is similar
to the way motion waves roll down a
whip. But rather than the wave
traveling on a flat plane it travels
in all directions. When reflected
off a flat, shiny surface, the light
waves become polarized and align in
a side-to side, horizontal
direction.
The result is blinding
glare.
Polarized lenses are like a fence
when the whip is fed between the
slats of a fence. Only the up and
down waves can get through. The
side-to-side waves would be
blocked. A polarized filter blocks
reflected glare in the same way.
The horizontal waves are blocked.
