Polarized gascan sunglasses are a special line of sunglasses that use polarized lenses. These accessories are used to minimize or eliminate the unwanted effect of glare and also provide added protection for the eyes. These glasses differ from standard, non polarized ones by treating light waves differently.
This type of eye wear uses Plutonite lenses, a polycarbonate lens of special kind. By design, these lenses blocks both UV A and UV B from passing through the lens and is also the lightest material used in the manufacturing of lens. Aside from the said quality, these lenses are known for its low thermal conduction. This means that it heats up relatively slower and are less likely to fog. Such properties make it best suited for eye wear.
The light in the surroundings travel in different and sometimes scattered directions. What our eyes use to see are vertical light waves. Meanwhile, horizontal light waves are what comprises glare. Glare happens when light is reflected by a flat, shiny horizontal surface of an object.
Regular lenses merely filters light, whether it is horizontal or vertical. This minimizes the effect of glare but does not necessarily eliminate it. However, since vertical light is also filtered, visual acuity is also affected and is therefore sacrificed. This is why regular lenses have become a challenge for eye wear manufacturers.
On the other hand, Plutonite lenses uses a special kind of filter. They let the vertical light to pass through the lens, which gives the user a clearer vision. Furthermore, the horizontal component of light is totally eliminated which makes it pretty effective in eliminating glare.
Since flat, shiny and horizontal materials are known to cause glare, these special sunglasses are specially useful for people who are into water sports. Water surface is known for partially polarizing light waves through horizontal reflection. Wearing these sunglasses eliminate glare and therefore makes the water appear more transparent which gives you better view of things below the water surface. Also, peripheral sight is enhanced by XYZ Optics which is an innovation that is used to maintain clarity of vision at different angles.
These accessories, though helpful most of the times, are not always preferred. For example, when skiing on icy conditions, identifying patchy snow is easier since they cause more glare that snow. Wearing these lenses makes it harder to identify these patches and may be dangerous to the skier.
Also, viewing images on an LCD screen is affected when using these sunglasses. Hence, they are not recommended for use by people who rely on equipments that uses LCD displays such as navigation equipments used by pilots and boaters. Fortunately, some manufacturers have already fixed this issue on the product.
The manufacturing process involved in the creation of the specialized lenses used for the product entails the use of different technologies. For the polarized gascan lenses, liquid infusion technology is used. This makes it possible for the filter to bond at molecular level. Two of the lenses are cut from a single shield of lens that has a special contour. These are then attached to a frame which is designed to maintain the original continuous contour. The frame itself is lightweight and is also stress resistant. To give reliable impact protection to the eye, the lens itself was subjected to impact test and shows to meet the ANSI Z87.1 standards.
