If you spend your time outdoors or in your car, polarised sunglasses are a must for the benefit of protecting your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

So what are polarized sunglasses and how do they work?

Polarized sunglasses use special technology to minimize the glare caused by light reflecting off flat and smooth surfaces. Direct sunlight makes you squint when your eyes are exposed to it.

During production a laminate film is patterned onto the lenses that only allows vertically oriented light waves to pass.This acts like a filter and ensures protection from the harsh light, also allowing your eyes to relax instead of scrunching up- causing unwanted wrinkles!

Summer styles for 2020

A well-designed pair will have you protected and looking great simultaneously.

Emerging in the 60s, these were better known in their original rose-coloured form. Through time, innovative designers have added an array of colours to choose from. From baby-blue to green and burnt orange – pastel sunnies come in all shades and frames.

How to keep them clean?

Because polarized lenses are made from specialized material, you should follow a strict routine. Cleaning tissue-wipes are perhaps the best recommendation for cleaning eyeglasses, but here are some alternatives:

Rinse your lenses under lukewarm water:

• This is strictly for longevity as hot water may be defectively decreasing the lifespan of your lenses and extremely hot water may damage or distort the plastic.

Add a dash of rubbing alcohol, dish soap or an eyeglass solution:

• Add a squirt of dish soap, alcohol or eyeglass solution. Apply to the lenses and rub lightly. Rinse again with lukewarm water.

Air dry & shine using a microfiber cloth:

• After air-drying the lenses and ridding them of any excess liquid, use a microfiber cloth to add the finishing touches.
