Sunlight reflecting off smooth water, snow, or flat surfaces like the hood of your car and roads can create glare which is not only annoying but can often be dangerous. Long-term exposure to the sun and its blinding glare can lead to problems like cataracts, injuries, accidents and even sunburn on your eyes. Thankfully, polarized sunglasses can shield your eyes against the dangers of intense glare.
While light typically scatters in all directions, it tends to become polarized when reflected off flat surfaces, which causes it to move in a more consistent (often horizontal) direction. This causes glare and decreases sight by reflecting light at an unwelcome and occasionally hazardous intensity.
A specific filter decreases glare in lenses used in polarized sunglasses, preventing this kind of strong reflected light. These special lenses used in polarized sunglasses are available in various colours. Their shade often depends on the material used to make the lenses. Darker lens colours tend to have a stronger effect. Hence the most common colours are grey and brown. However, green, and yellow are often preferred choices for many distinct polarized sunglasses styles. These polarized lenses block horizontal light waves, only allowing vertical waves to get through the filter, therefore cutting down on glare.

On one side of the lens of the majority of low-cost. The film is frequently layered between two layers of lens material in higher-quality lenses to avoid scratching and rubbing. Additionally, the film offers greater polarisation the denser it is.
Polarized sunglasses typically don't differ in appearance from standard sunglasses. While denser films typically have a darker appearance, a lens's colour does not affect how much polarisation it offers.
A pair of very dark sunglasses with a thin film won't be able to block any more glare than a pair of lighter sunglasses with a thicker film. Although they cannot be made clear, polarised sunglasses can be made in various colours, including grey, brown, green, and others.
