To understand the difference between polarised sunglasses and standard dark lenses, imagine two windows. One window has a dark tint and one has horizontal blinds. The window with the dark tint will filter out the sunlight, but visibility is reduced and there is still a glare. The window with the blinds permits perfect visibility minus the glare. This is essentially how polarised sunglasses work. They are designed with a special film that filters out light that enters at certain angles but still allows light necessary for proper vision to penetrate. Because they are designed to refract light instead of being dependent on tint, damage from harmful ultraviolet rays is also minimized.

Are polarised sunglasses damaging for the eye?
No, quite the contrary. The rays of the sun can be very damaging to your eyes. Polarized Sunglasses work by negating the angle at which sunlight reflects off objects and the water into your eyes. They make everything clearer and keep the harmful rays from actually reaching your eyes.
Why polaroid glasses are better then sun glasses?
Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like snow and water, they do so by changing the angle of absorbed light and blocking out the remaining rays that reflect into the eyes. And actually you may try a combination of polarised sunglasses. Sunglasses with polarised lenses are effective in reducing glare from flat surfaces such as the car bonnet and great for blocking out reflections from road surfaces to make drive as smooth and easy as possible.

How does polarizing sunglasses work?
Polarised lenses have a polarised film/filter which is laminated to a lens. Polarised lenses are used to block horizontal glare which is reflected from horizontal surfaces such as water, the pavement or the dash or bonnet of a car. The laminated film is made of up tiny stripes side by side which are extremely close together and are so small that they won't be visible to the naked eye. These stripes will be fitted to the sunglass frame vertically and will only allow vertically polarised light to enter the eyes of the wearer. The horizontal glare/reflections will be eliminated as they cannot enter a lens with a vertically polarised filter. If the wearer was to tilt their to the side, the lenses won't stop the horizontal glare as they'll be sitting off axis and will allow the bright horizontal glare the pass through the lenses.

Through an atmosphere of Ozone, electromagnetic waves can become polarised.

Difference between monochromatic and polarized light?
Monochromatic means that it has only frequency. Polarized is definition for light which has its electric and magnetic vectors oscillating in a certain way (linearly polarized, elliptically and so on) but it might have many frequencies included. In the same time monochromatic light can be polarized.
What are the different types of Ray Ban Lenses?
In China Polarised Ray ban is made of Plastic Lens. If not polarised,than be glass lens. Any way you may feel light when wearing polarised plastic lens and feel a little heavy in glass lens. But polarised is easy to be scratched. So should be careful when wearing . Hope this can help you !!
