Key Benefits of uvex polarised safety glasses
Glare from sunlight or bright artificial lighting can be dangerous, especially in work environments such with moving vehicles and objects. Polarised lenses help reduce glare by filtering out horizontal light waves, improving visual perception, enhance clarity and colour definition.
Visual Performance can be enhanced by reducing glare and improving contrast. This is particularly advantageous in situations that require precise depth perception, colour recognition, or object detection. Whether you're operating heavy machinery, working with electrical equipment, or engaging in outdoor activities, clear vision can help workers perform your tasks more effectively and safely.
UV Protection. Polarised safety glasses often come with built-in UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can contribute to various eye problems, including blurred vision, discomfort, or redness in the eyes to cataracts and macular degeneration. Polarised safety eyewear with UV protection helps safeguard your eyes from these risks.
Comfort. Safety eyewear, including polarised options, are designed to be comfortable to wear for extended periods. They typically feature lightweight frames, adjustable nose pads, and ergonomic designs to ensure a secure fit and minimise discomfort. When safety glasses are comfortable, workers are more likely to wear them consistently, promoting compliance with workplace safety regulations and reducing the risk of eye injuries.
What is polarisation?
Light travels in wave lengths through the air. These wave lengths can vibrate in all directions. When light hits a reflective surface, all the reflected light then vibrates parallel to the surface.
This is called polarisation.
Smooth surfaces such as concrete, metal, snow, sand, and wet roads reflect a white glaring light. This is because most polarised light travels in two dimensions, horizontally and vertically. Vertical light brings useful information to eyes, enabling us to see colours and contrasts, while horizontal light simply creates glare which can considerably reduce what is being viewed.

Standard sunglasses and outdoor use safety glasses reduce both useful and interfering light, resulting in darker environment. Polarised lens eyewear features a special filter, which blocks horizontal light.
