Polarized safety glasses have become very popular with those who spend time under the bright sun. Whether your activity is construction, fishing, biking, running, boating, motorcycling, driving, or any combination of these, you should consider the move to polarized safety glasses.

The key to their popularity is a special polarized lens filter that reduces glare without sacrificing clarity, performance or durability. This polarized filter significantly reduces eye stress and fatigue caused by excessive glare from surfaces that commonly reflect bright sunlight, such as water, ice, glass or paint from other automobiles. For most, once they've worn a pair of polarized safety glasses or sunglasses, they never go back to standard lenses. All Polarized Safety Glasses are ANSI Z87.1-2015 certified with the added benefit of 99.9% UV protection.

Polarized Safety Glasses FAQs

Can safety glasses be polarized?

Prescription polarized safety sunglasses are available with full ANSI Z87 ratings as prescription safety glasses for safe use on job sites, but with the bonus of glare protection and sun protection that polarized lenses have to offer.

What are polarized lenses?

Polarized lenses cut out glare. When the sun emits light, it’s a vertical wavelength. This wavelength then hits shiny, reflective objects such as cars, snow, or water, and rebounds at a horizontal wavelength to cause glare. Polarized glasses have a filter that blocks this horizontal wavelength. This feature is great for everyday sunglasses or if you spend a lot of time on the water, and it can work for safety glasses too!

What does polarized safety glasses mean?

All sunglasses are formulated to protect against UV rays and to minimize glare, but polarized lenses have been made with a special process to filter out this type of intense glare. This formulation acts almost like a blind or curtain, allowing only some light to pass through.

Which is better polarized or non-polarized sunglasses?

Non-polarized lenses treat all sunlight equally and reduce the overall intensity. This offers protection for the eyes but will not tackle shimmer and sparkle if you're around water, snow, or glass. Polarized sunglasses also filter ambient light but go further by canceling out bright reflected light.

Do I need polarized safety glasses?

While polarized lenses block glare from the sun, polarization may also affect depth perception. However, not everyone reacts to polarized lenses the same way, so it may or may not be an issue for you.
Getting polarized safety sunglasses is a matter of personal preference as well as the type of work you do. If you’re someone who works in bright sunlight, a polarized lens may save you from squinting and eye fatigue.
Likewise, if you deal with a lot of shiny metal, polarized glasses are a good thing to have. One caveat, though: You can’t get polarized lenses with all lens tints.

Can I get polarized prescription safety glasses?

Yes! Polarization is applied as a filter on the lens, so you can get it with prescription lenses.
