Why Upgrade to Polarized Lenses?
Polarized sunglasses are more than just a luxury—they are a necessity for eye safety and everyday comfort. Unlike standard tinted lenses that only dim light, Xford polarized lenses use a special filter to block intense reflected light. This helps reduce glare from wet roads, dashboards, and other vehicles, making them ideal for driving and outdoor activities. By filtering out visual noise, these lenses make colors appear richer, sharper, and more defined. They also help reduce eye fatigue, so you don’t have to squint in bright sunlight and your eyes stay relaxed throughout the day. Like all Xford eyewear, these lenses provide 100% UV protection by blocking harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do I check if my sunglasses are really polarized? +
It’s easy! Hold your sunglasses in front of a digital screen (like a laptop or ATM). Rotate the glasses 90 degrees. If the lens goes dark or turns black at a certain angle, they are polarized. This proves the glare-blocking filter is working.
Q2: Are polarized sunglasses better for driving? +
Yes, they are considered the safest option for day-time driving. They eliminate the blinding glare reflecting off the road surface, windshields, and dashboards, allowing you to spot hazards clearly and react faster.
Q3: Do polarized lenses look darker than normal lenses? +
Not necessarily, but they often feel more comfortable. While the tint darkness can vary, the "visual comfort" is higher because they block the harsh white glare that causes you to squint, making the view feel cooler and calmer.
Q4: Can I view my phone screen with polarized sunglasses? +
You might notice a slight "rainbow effect" or darkening on some LED/LCD screens (like phones or car infotainment systems) at specific angles. This is normal behavior for high-quality polarized filters and proves their authenticity.
