Are you curious to see if your sunglasses are actually BLOCKING UV LIGHT? Here are 3 ways to test! https://youtu.be/raOyeWif_zE

The great thing about YouTube is that you can search for almost anything and get a list of specialists in that specific area.

When not to use polarized sunglasses: piloting airplanes or heavy machinery or driving on maybe icy roads, and when using photo camera

My Dad being the V.P. of Polaroid's Polarizer Division, I have been wearing polarized sunglass lenses both outdoors, driving and well lighted indoors (particularly fluorescent and computer screens) since I was 10 years old.
I am now 73. I attribute these lenses for saving my retinas from harmful UV wavelength light emitted from the sun and CRT and LED screens. I have never had detrimental issues as a results about how I wore polarized eyewear.
The only result is my eyes are very light sensitive giving me the advantage of having great night vision. I even put them on when driving with oncoming headlights or very bright street lighting. Having impact resistant polycarbonate lenses have saved me many from potential eye injuries.
For me the pluses out numbered the very few minuses of wearing the lenses as often as I have for 63 years.
Not only did my Dad run the division of Dr. Edwin Land's first and favorite product thus knowing him well, I too worked for Dr. Land mixing batches of his light sensitive film emulsions as his Senior Chemical Technician, personally making his various personally directed formulas for his testing in his Osborne St. Lab until the bastards moved both Land, my Dad and many others out with their hostile internal takeover. This company made the best optical wear and technical polarizer materials for the aircraft and armament industries. Their Cameras and film products were initially very good, but they did not keep up with innovation without Dr. Land and others
R&D. Instead the goons screwed them and shot themselves in their feet My Dad retired. I left the chemical engineering division for greener pastures. The company went down the shitter.
BTW I do not pilot aircraft so reading gauges is not an issue. 😎

Polarized Glasses are my best friend. It literally enhances and sharpens my sight and makes the discomfort vanish.
Just wish they didn't have to be that dark.

I need “They live” sunglasses.

Most BMWs (and other car brands) has special windshield optimized for the heads up display so it can be bright and display information in front of you. Whenever I wear my polarized glasses, the heads up display that reads my speed and navigation guidance goes missing. Just a fun fact to add on what you mentioned earlier.

I work for a UK Fire Service and the laminated windows on our vehicles causes an oil slick/rainbow effect when wearing polarised sunglasses. I mentioned this to my optician and he said "Yes we recommend that emergency services personnel wear non polarised lenses for that particular reason". The trouble is polarised lenses are better for certain situations like when working on our watercraft etc. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@300bhpton 1 year ago

If you have an old vehicle with non laminated glass windscreen (windshield), like an old Land Rover (suspect old Jeeps too, CJ's etc) or an old tractor, then polarised glasses will make the glass appear crazed with patterns on it.

Asking for a friend- if I go to the south pole do I need to turn my polarized glasses upside down

So that's why my car radio turns off when I tilt my head. 😂

@michaelotto8696 1 year ago

I ALWAYS wear polarized sunglasses. I spend many hours on the water and out in the snow/ice and minimizing glare is critical. Sure, I get that sometimes there is some polarity conflict with certain LCD displays (ATMs, gas pumps, etc.) But for the 2 seconds it takes to lift the glasses, park 'em on my head, take care of business and replace is insignificant. I'm not 100% certain but I'd bet that not all glasses have the polarization oriented the same way. Sure style can be important but maybe it's worthwhile shopping for a pair with a more compatible orientation for what you've been having trouble with. Seems like I remember a high end vendor offering a specific orientation special order.

You didn't mention window tint. Driving in a car with aftermarket tint is like being in a prism you see all kinds of rainbow colors even other cars windshield look like a rambo! I don't mind it kind of hilarious i can still see normal through the front glass because its not tempered or tinted lol

After cataract surgery of very high myopia you can imagine how super extra light sensitive I became. I find non-polarized darker shade wraparounds more relaxing and soothing when doing yardwork e.g. Polarized for long periods gives me migraines 😊

@Bradreviewsit 1 year ago

3:03 dude you just describe me to a tea! This is exactly why I wear polarized. I get ocular migraines often

@patrickf.4440 1 year ago

Yes, it took me a while to figure out why the first time I drove my new car with polarized glasses that my AC temp readout partly disappeared! I thought it was broken until I took my glasses off.

@rolandburket1262 1 year ago

I fish alot and im sensitive to light. So i always wear polarized sunglasses have been for 30 years. Usually a nice set of maui jims

@Dee_Just_Dee 1 year ago

As an aside, one of the reasons why I buy dashcams from a certain vendor is because they have polarizing filters available as accessories. In the case of a collision or near-miss, it's nice to have the reflections in the other driver's windows cut down in the recording so that you can more easily tell if they were distracted or otherwise looking in completely the wrong direction.

@tebe6502 1 year ago

Problems with linear polarization in relation to LCD screens result from the lack of a global standard for mounting polarization orientation, whether in glasses or monitors.

If one pair of glasses blocks your view of the screen, try another pair.
