When it comes to polarized sunglasses vs non polarized sunglasses, the biggest difference has to do with the polarized filter which blocks reflecting light coming from flat horizontal surfaces.
This significantly reduces glare and can even allow you to see deeper into bodies of water.
I personally find polarized lenses to be the best sunglasses for fishing and the best sunglasses for drinking. However, if you are a pilot or look at a digital screen outside, then the polarized lens may not be the best for you.
How to do a polarized sunglasses test:
Hold a pair of sunglasses in front of a computer screen, rotate the sunglasses while looking through the lenses and if the image of the computer screen goes black, the sunglasses are polarized.
You can also rotate one pair of polarized sunglasses against another pair of polarized lenses, if they go dark, then the lenses are polarized. If they do not, then at least one pair are non polarized sunglasses.

Well done! As an airline pilot I learned that polarized lenses aren't approved for cockpit use, as you imply. Most cockpit windows and windshields are partially polarized during the curing process. Additionally, there's a list of sunglasses not approved for cockpit use since their color bias can obscure some flat screen indications. As you mentioned, polarized lenses are great for boating. Final take away from the aeromedical guys at ALPA (Airline Pilots' Association) is that cheap sunglasses can be worse than no sunglasses. Cheap glasses reduce the light and cause the pupil to dilate but they don't block harmful wavelengths, more harmful wavelengths strike the retina causing retinal damage and cataracts.

@DoctorEyeHealth 2 года назад

Excellent tips!!! Thanks for sharing all that! Yes, we learned about cheap sunglasses and that risk in school as well. However, I have yet to find a pair at the store that didn't have a label that said 100% or full UV light protection. Even the cheap ones, but I suppose they must be out there.

@tomdavis3038 Год назад

You’d be surprised how many pilots wear polarized sunglasses. The window and avionics thing isn’t the real reason polarized isn’t recommended. It’s seeing the glare from other planes which is mostly eliminated by polarized sunglasses that’s the real issue here. Cheers

I prefer polarised sun glasses when I drive, because it cuts down the glare from the sun reflected from cars by eliminating or shrinking that glare, from a large spot to a small spot, making it easier to see. I learned more about the polarising filters with photography, where you get more clear, distinct colours when using these filters outside in bright sunlight. It does so by reducing the reflected light on subjects when photographing them. The polarising sun glasses do make it a little more difficult to read screens on my gps display. This is a very good explanation of how polarising works. Thanks!! (This program changes my Zs to Ss)

@howardlevinger4571 2 года назад

Great video on what polarization is. I would like to point out that I wear non-polarized, tinted sunglasses while I am driving because as regards to progressively darkening sunglasses, the filters that are built into car windows prevents the proper reaction of the glasses to the brightness. That is the only reason I wear tinted glasses rather than polarized in my car. However, using a polarizing filter on a camera is one of the most awe-inspiring things you can do. On a sunny day with white puffy clouds, polarizing filters will really increase the contrast in the clouds and darken the sky which makes for really really dramatic photographs. Finally, if you are taking photographs through a store window and there is glare on the window you can turn the polarizing filter on the camera until the glare is completely eliminated and all you see are the items beyond that window in the store. It’s almost like magic. Love your videos.

@carparthero 3 года назад

dr. allen, thanks for your sunglass videos. i am 47 and just had an eye exam. the doctor and his people were nice but advised me that it's in my best interest to start taking my eye health seriously. i work outside at a car plant moving cars for shipping. while i can read and see pretty good for my age, they did get me to buy near and far sighted glasses and showed me the difference between the eyeglasses and my current vision. so as part of taking my eye health seriously, i ended up buying a pair of william painter level-model sunglasses. they have polarized lenses. compared to the garbage at sunglass hut and the monopoly that essilor-luxottica exerts on the market, WP was not cheap but def provided much more bang for the buck. i spend a lot of time on the computer at home so i am getting blue blocker eye wear too. where you intertwine with this is that i watched quite a few of your videos, and i am thankful for the education you provided. fair, honest and objective. i will keep watching your videos so that i can learn more about eye health. cheers from southern ontario 🍁

Doc, your comments and information regarding sunglasses and anything vision-related are top notch! I am an airline pilot, and sadly I cannot wear polarized sunglasses because of the reasons you so well expressed, but also because the glareshield of the aircraft is already polarized, so the light distortion through the sunglasses is uncomfortable and easily seen.

@garyf3470 3 года назад

In the case of car HUDs, they often work by projecting the information from the top of the dash onto the windshield, which has an inner surface designed to reflect that projection back to the driver. Because it’s a reflection, it turns out to have the same orientation as the glare off of other cars and therefore will be blocked by polarized glasses. I don’t think the auto manufacturers have much choice over that (unlike computer screens). If they did the projection from a different angle, it would be tough making reflect back at the driver or preventing distortion.

Funny story about polarized sunglasses. I bought a polarized face shield for my motorcycle helmet. First time I road I almost fell off the bike in amazement. The polarizing filter in my glasses interacted with that of the face shield. Reflections off of asphalt at certain angles and some car window tints gave me a rainbow color effect like what I've heard is experienced by some on LSD. Really wild.

@KyleP133 Год назад

Yeah this was an issue for me. I specifically had to find non-polarized sunglasses for riding, which amazingly the best way I could find to get a non-polarized set of sunglasses was some really high end Ray Bans or Randolphs. It was somewhat tolerable for just seeing the road, but as soon as I was trying to see whether people in cars were looking/seeing me, I couldnt see ANYTHING between all the rainbow shimmering.

When looking at plastic and glass through polarized lenses you can often see color patterns due to the stresses in the plastic. You can often see that in your carl’s back window.

And interestingly, this is exactly how watching 3D movies at the cinema works (your demonstration with the polarised lens in front of the computer screen was great). Two images are projected, one polarised in one direction and the other polarised in the other direction. The lenses then each block out one image, the left lens blocks out what the right eye wants to see and vice versa, creating the illusion that you've viewing a three dimensional object with your eyes, giving depth perception to an otherwise 2D image.

@krukarlukasz3834 2 года назад

There are two types of polarised filters. Linear and circular. The first one is older technology and required 2 lenses - you would turn them in different combination to receive required polarisation effect. The circular one is the type you had on the glasses you shown, yes by turning lens you can vary palarisation effect. I think circular technology is more practical, but linear gives you better control and stronger effect.

About what you mentioned in the end of the video if is it any difference between lens polarization brands, well I recently bought a ray ban justin classic ( blue classic polarized) and perceived that the polarized lens sun lights comes straight against me while I was driving. The sun light hits the car panel and the bright area become matte and blue in a pleasing way. An interesting thing is I can't see this effect in the store only when i drove and against the sun. I had other polarized sunglasses such oakley, nike, speedo, but never seen this effect before.

I love my polarized sunglasses when I'm driving especially. You forgot to mention that without them you see glare and reflections on your windshield from the dashboard and the polarized lenses eliminate them. You can see much clearer.

Great job, Doctor. I have a question. I suffer from chronic headaches and I had sunglasses . When I put it on, the pain was gone, but now it does not work for me. Can you find out the reason and do you recommend a certain type of sunglass?

@mrroneill99 3 года назад

Definitely polarised, although we don’t have much need for sunglasses in Ireland! Has anyone told you you’re such a cool nerd?! "Nerd" is your word, I’d say "charmingly curious about the underlying nature of reality". ❤️🧿☘️🇮🇪😎

I have migraines and polarized sunglasses just hurt my eyes and trigger my migraines. I tried multiple brands and still have the same dizziness feeling when wearing them so will just stick to the normal lenses (G-15 from Ray-Ban are just awesome for my eyes).

@polskpojjkeh 2 года назад

That's unfortunate. It helps wonders for me to prevent migraines on very sunny days. But I've heard it makes people dizzy before, I've heard people describe it as a "3D feeling" which kind of makes sense since polarized glasses are used in 3D theatres, each eye having a different polarization (vertical vs horizontal) so each eye only sees one of the 2 images.

@EvangeliumDiSilenti Год назад

I just got my first pair of sunglasses within the last month and theyve been life changing. It's been a record breaking winter in my area. Lots of snow. Wet roads. It snowed pretty heavy overnight recently and it was sunny the next morning. Once I hit the road my eyes were burning and watering so bad I had to emergency stop at a CVS for SOMETHING. Picked up the only pair my BF thought looked good on me and now I have a second pair I got on Amazon. No more pain while driving😂

I have issues with glare so I wear polarised sunglasses most of the time and have noticed digital kiosks and digital billboards will look blacked out so I can’t see anything on the screen. Also, bus, train and large building windows are polarised too and will look dark and distorted and hard to see through. I never understood why they did that before so, thank you for explaining it so concisely.

@karaoke888 3 года назад

All the different brands that offer polarized lenses do have different quality to them. Some brands seem to have less distortion than others and some even make it difficult to see from my experience. Although I prefer non-polarized lenses, however there are a few situations where I feel having polarized lenses give you a huge advantage, mostly when outdoors in bright light and large bodies of water around you.

@charlesdavis4564 3 года назад

Polarized glasses are illegal in Aircraft cockpits. They are banned by the FAA. Why you ask Because Polarized sunglasses block the digital displays on modern Aircraft. I have a Porsche Boxster that has both digital and analog displays for speed and RPM among other thing. With Polarized sun glasses I can not see the Digital displays at all. I cant find non-Polarized Sunglasses in most stores so get them through an online Aviation store.

@JohannnesBrahms 3 года назад

Great explanation of a topic that I now know is more complicated than I thought it was. Is there a lens that can correct glare from lights in the dark?

@DoctorEyeHealth 3 года назад

Not really. Antireflective is said to help reduce glare from stray directions, but It doesn't dim bright lights or anything like that.

Polarized sunglasses are a must when canoe tripping. Like fishing, it lets you see underwater and are able to avoid obstacles.

I had some issues with my vision getting bleary while driving a few years ago. This did not happen when riding my bicycle. The difference I realized, was that my driving glasses were polarized but the cycling glasses were just tinted. I suspect the underlying issue was that I had crossed eyes that were corrected with surgery when I was about 21. I'm sure the correction was not complete, but close enough for my brain to compensate for the remaining difference. As I got older, polarizing filters became a problem for my eyes. Got rid of the polarized lenses and have just bought tinted since. Maybe you have some experience with this or maybe it is something new to you? I'd be interested in hearing an optometrist's take on my experience.

@novinnovations4026 Год назад

I know this is old but did you learn anything new about this? I had eye correction surgery for a lazy eye when I was a kid and have not noticed issues with polarized lenses yet, but now I'm worried going into my 30s!

@YoSpiff Год назад

@@novinnovations4026 I have not learned anything new. I even had an eye checkup last year and mentioned it. It wasnt familiar to them, at least not the person who did my exam. I may inquire further at the next checkup. I was in my early to mid 50's when the polarized lenses became a problem.

@sachmosays7351 3 года назад

Great video. Question here - why are most polarized sunglasses lighter (tint wise) than regular sunglasses? Almost every pair of polarized shades I try on tend to have a lighter tint than the non polarized shades. I like the idea of not being able to see my eyes when I wear my shades outdoors.

@wilkes1997 2 года назад

Polarized glasses will absorb about half of the light that passes through them if they have no tint. This is because they absorb the horizontal component while leaving the vertical undisturbed. Humans do not actually experience brightness at a 1:1 ratio; we perceive brightness in an exponential manner. So if something blocks 50% of light we perceive it as 70% dimmer approximately. So a polarized lens wont appear that dim at all compared to other glasses unless there is something else absorbing or reflecting the light before it reaches your eye light tint or a mirrored finish.

@DoctorEyeHealth 3 года назад

Optic neuritis can come from mulitple diseases/ conditions, Most commonly we associate it with Multiple Sclerosis. Optic neuritis is a type of swelling that huts the nerve and usually resolves on it's own, but unfortunately it can leave a person with permanent vision loss in some cases.
