Polarized Sunglasses for Everyday Clarity

We always wonder about adventures, driving on a road trip, hiking a trail, or fishing for an escape. But there is a thing, a thing that always bothers our lovely trip, the sun glare, it affects everyone's enjoyable moment while the sun beam shines into your eyes. At NINES®, we are not worried about the glare since we noticed that at the very beginning of the development of our NIRTECH®. The polarized sunglasses we carry are specially designed to protect your eyes from the glare.

What is glare?

Before we talk about the protection, let's dive in the glare. To understand glare, the first question will always be what glare is – it's the light bouncing off flat surfaces, for example, like the sunlight floating on the water or lights bouncing off the glass.

Summer Sunlight

In the summertime, you put on sunscreen to protect your skin, and the same idea applies to your eyes when you are out in the sun. The summer sunshine bounces everywhere from road pavement, grass, and even just light color building surfaces. Based on research from the WHO (World Health Organization), dry beach sand is about 15%, and sea foam is about 25%. Remember that the reflected glare also brings harmful UV light to your eyes.

Winter

Many customers believe that winter usually gets less sunlight since we have less sunny time, well, the truth is, it's usually more glare problems than you think. The snow is the number one factor that makes your eyes feel most of the ground reflection. Fresh snow is a perfect reflector and almost doubles a person's UV exposure. And that's why even AAA always recommends people to pay extreme attention during winter travel, commute, or outdoor activity since the glare may impair your vision, causing danger.

So, do the Polarized Sunglasses work?

 Polarized lenses are cool to look at because the reflected light makes them very different in comparison to other sunglasses or eyewear. So polarized lenses filter horizontally polarized light, which causes the glare. The polarized sunglasses create vertical openings for light. Only light rays that approach your eyes vertically can fit through those openings. The polarized lens blocks all horizontal light waves bouncing off a smooth pond or a shiny pavement.

So, with polarized sunglasses, it helps with most everyday activities like driving and working outdoors. Most people may think polarized sunglasses are only for fishing or special occasions; the answer is simply that they suit anyone who needs a pair of sunglasses that can reduce glare effects that cause discomfort in their eyes.

What makes NINES® Polarized Sunglasses Different

The special coating with the NIRTECH® process helps the lens bond evenly. Most of the polarized film sunglasses will cause a bubble view or a foggy effect while you are wearing them. But NIRTECH® developed the coating process that ensures visibility and glare protection. With NINES® Near Infrared protection coating, our sunglasses not only protect you from glare and UV, but also the harmful Near Infrared from clarity and protection.

Then why Do We Need to Reduce Glare?

Let's put all science, like UV or NIR, aside, and simply talk about why we need to reduce glare. According to the safe driving advice from AAA, the sun glare is the primary cause for many mornings and off-work commuters. Moreover, careless drivers who use high beams during daytime driving also cause glare hazards that pose a risk to the opposite direction traffic. So you may consider the polarized sunglasses a great investment that makes you safe to get to work and back home.

For water activity enthusiasts, a good pair of polarized sunglasses is a must-have, everyday essential. It gives anglers the best leverage to see clearly through the water surface and catch the big one.

We make the best polarized sunglasses that are anglers' favorite, and their style and function also bring joy to everyday adventures. Invest in a pair of polarized sunglasses to enjoy clarity for both outdoor and daily life.
