How do g 15 xlt lenses compare to polarized lenses?

A polarized lens cuts more reflected glare but the actual protection of polarized lenses and G15 lenses are the same. Polarized sunglass lenses reduce glare reflected off roads, bodies of water, snow, and other horizontal surfaces where the G15 lenses do not.


How can you tell if glasses are polarized?

Hold them up and look at a shiny non-metallic surface through the lens while rotating it at least 90 degrees in either direction. If they are polarized, you will see the reflection change.


How do you check polarized lenses?

line up two lenses and look through them. Rotate one. If it doesn't get darker & lighter, then at least one lens isn't a polarized lens. If you don't have two pairs of lenses then rotating one pair of polarized glasses whilst looking through them at an LCD screen will work fine, eg your computer screen or even your digital watch face. Rotate the lens clockwise through 90-180 degrees and the screen/watchface will go dark and then light up again as you keep rotating.


Do different lens colors give better eye protection than others?

As long as the sunglasses are polarized and have UV protection they are great.


How does 3Dimensional glasses work?

There are two types of 3-D glasses: 1) Different colored lenses. An image containing both colors is projected at your face, but the tint of each lens filters out one of the colors (the red lens prevents you from seeing the red image, while the blue lens prevents you from seeing the blue image), resulting in each eye seeing a slightly different image. This difference is the basis for depth perception and binocular vision. Your brain combines the two images, fooling itself into thinking the images have depth. 2) Polarization. If you have ever had polarized sunglasses, you know the effect. Imagine the polarized lens as a picket fence and light waves as pieces of wood that fit between the slats. The only wood pieces (light photons) that make it through the fence (the lens) are the ones oriented in the same direction as the slats in the fence. All other wood pieces (light waves) are filtered out. In this method, the two images are pre-polarized by a filter on the projector, which results each image consisting of only one wave form (it's convenient to thing of these wave forms as vertical and horizontal). On the glasses themselves, one lens is polarized vertically and the other horizontally, so the only the vertically polarized image goes through the vertical lens, and only the horizontally polarized image goes through the horizontal lens, again resulting in your brain seeing a slightly different image in each eye, which causes the illusion of depth.


What is the difference between UV protected lenses and polarized?

UV lens coatings are designed to block UV rays from reaching your eyes. Polarized lenses block glare (light reflected off of water or snow, for example) and improve vision that way. Polarized lenses do not offer UV protection - they would need to have a UV coating applied.
