Polarized or Non-Polarized Lenses?
When buying sunglasses, you’re bound to encounter the term "polarized lenses." But what exactly does polarization mean, and what are the benefits of polarized lenses? We’ve compiled everything you need to know about sunglasses lenses and polarization below.
See the World in High Definition with Polarized Lenses
The purpose of polarization is to reduce glare from horizontal reflections, such as from water or road surfaces. Polarization in sunglasses is achieved by embedding a polarizing film within the lens, which allows only specific light rays to pass through. Aarni’s selection includes polarized polycarbonate lenses.
Polarized Lenses for Outdoor Activities
Polarized lenses not only eliminate regular glare but also reduce reflections from flat surfaces. They are particularly effective at protecting your eyes from light reflecting off water, snow, or wet roads. This makes polarized sunglasses an ideal choice for springtime snow activities or for time spent on the water.
Optically high-quality polarized lenses provide excellent glare protection and significantly reduce the need to squint in bright conditions. Polarized sunglasses are also ideal as driving glasses for both drivers and motorcyclists.

At Aarni, every component in our products is carefully selected and tested. We consider the quality of sunglass lenses one of the most essential features. For Aarni’s sunglasses, we’ve chosen premium polycarbonate lenses, among the best in the market for optical quality.
Optically Excellent Polycarbonate Lenses
With high-quality lenses, you can see your surroundings clearly and without distortion. Polycarbonate lenses are lightweight, thin, and highly impact-resistant. Most importantly, they offer 100% UVA and UVB protection.
Benefits of Polarized Sunglasses in a Nutshell:
- Eliminate annoying or blinding glare.
- Provide better color accuracy in bright light.
- Reduce eye strain caused by glare and intense light.
- Improve visibility below the water’s surface, making them suitable for activities like fishing.
- Increase comfort when on water or snow.
- Prevent potentially dangerous glare, especially when driving.
Good to Remember When Choosing Polarized Sunglasses:
- Polarization does not provide extra UV protection, so it’s essential that lenses also offer 100% UV protection.
- Polarized sunglasses eliminate glare and reflections, especially in bright light conditions.
- Polarized lenses may make it harder to view LCD screens, like a phone screen, as polarization filters out some of the screen’s light and colors.
