What’s the difference between Glare Control and Polarized Lenses?
Are you tired of squinting under the glaring sun or struggling to see clearly on foggy days?
Eye protection against glare is crucial for outdoor enthusiasts like you, whether you're hiking, skiing, or mountain biking.
But how do you choose the best protection for your eyes?
In this article, we're breaking down the differences between polarized sunglasses and glare control lenses to help you make the best choice for your adventures—and everyday wear!
Polarized Sunglasses
Polarized lenses are designed to reduce glare from surfaces like water, snow, and glass. They contain a special filter that blocks intense reflected light, reducing glare and improving visibility and comfort.
They block out the majority of glare by filtering up to 99% of reflected light.
This results in enhanced contrast and color perception, making it easier to see in bright sunlight. Julbo's polarized lenses, such as the Spectron HD, offer contrast enhancement and allow you to read screens easily while providing top-notch protection from the sun's harmful rays.
Key Benefits of Polarized Sunglasses:
- Block up to 99% of glare
- Improve contrast and color perception
- Enhance overall visual comfort
- Ideal for bright sunlight and reflective surfaces like water or snow.
Glare Control Lenses
While similar to polarized lenses, glare control lenses may not completely eliminate glare but are designed to reduce it to a comfortable level.
They use a low polarized filter to eliminate approximately 79% of glare.
This technology enhances contrast and clarity, making the lenses suitable for various lighting conditions, including foggy situations where enhanced contrast and colour accuracy are essential.
Julbo's Glare Control lenses offer versatile use, making them a great option for those who encounter changing light conditions during their outdoor adventures.
Key Benefits of Glare Control Lenses:
- Reduce up to 79% of glare
