Tint vs. Polarized
Although darkly tinted sunglasses may reduce
brightness, they do not remove glare like a polarized lens. In
addition, dark sunglasses without added ultraviolet protection
may cause more damage to the patient’s eyes than not wearing
sunglasses at all. The darkness of the lens can cause the pupil
to dilate, letting more ultraviolet rays into the inner parts
of the eye. Polarized lenses solve both problems by eliminating
glare and filtering out harmful ultraviolet light because the
filter reduces the polarized glare and also has ultraviolet absorbing
properties.
Today’s polarized lenses represent the
best sunwear and outdoor lifestyle options available. With a little
explanation and demonstration on your part, your patients will
enjoy the benefits of these lenses for years to come.
