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.
Polarized sunglasses are used to reduce glare to those wearing them. The main characteristic is that they reduce the glare bouncing off a surface such as water, snow or a road. They are usually quite dark.
