Best Polarized SunglassesBelow you will have the opportunity to purchase the best polarized sunglasses that are out today. The Oakley sunglasses and the Native sunglasses are the hot brands this year. But first let me tell you what you need to know about polarization in these cool sunglasses.Let me share with you how polarized sunglasses work. It is quite simple... Sunlight, when reflected off of water or a flat surface (like the granite mountains in Yosemite) creates horizontally polarized light waves. A pair of polarized sunglasses will use vertically oriented "polarized" in the lenses (this is a chemical on the lens). The combination of the two effectively neutralizes one another and therefore you get glare reduction because of the lenses. In other words, without a good pair of sunglasses, the light bounces off of a flat surface. Put on your sunglasses and the sun is stopped from bouncing off of the surface. The polarized filter passes through the light. Whatever light does come through the sunglasses is considered polarized. An expensive lens is made from cheap plastic. A cheap plastic lens (even with a tint of color to them) will not protect your eyes from ultraviolet light. If your going to not put out the money for a good pair of sunglasses, you don't even need to bother getting any pair of sunglasses. Why? Because the protection for your eyes is just not there. Ultraviolet light (UV) is rays that come from the sun. To much light in our eyes will damage the cornea and the retina in your eyes. Wearing a pair of UV or polarized sunglasses will reduce the glare, increase contrast, depth and protect your eyes whenever you are outdoors. Sunglasses also give protection to those who have sensitive eyes.
