Get Ready for summer with Polarized Sunglasses!

Get ready for summer with polarized sunglasses from Wisconsin Vision!

Our favorite time of the year is finally here and we know we aren't the only ones looking forward to being outdoors more, enjoying the sunshine and warm weather activities. With the added daylight comes the need to protect your eyes. Wisconsin Vision's polarized lenses offer a safe and protective alternative to regular sunglasses. 

But what do polarized lenses do? 

Polarized lenses change the way that light enters the lens and hits your eyes. Polarized lenses reduce glare from many sources, including water, snow, roads, and buildings. Polarized lenses also help reduce eye strain by limiting glare from surfaces. 

While polarized lenses don’t protect you from directly staring at the sun (which we don’t recommend) they are an excellent option for reducing glare and reflections. 

So who needs polarized lenses? Polarized lenses are great option for people who enjoy a variety of activities or jobs, such as: 

• People who regularly drive
• People who work outdoors or enjoy outdoor hobbies such as golfing, fishing or gardening. 
• People who live near or regularly frequent bodies of water.
• People who live in snowy climates

Polarized sunglasses are also an optimal choice for outdoor workers, landscapers, construction workers, maintenance crews, and more. Wisconsin Vision can provide 

Are polarized lenses more expensive? 

Yes, Polarized lenses are a more expensive option when it comes to sunglasses. However, protecting your health and eyesight is a worthwhile investment that could save thousands of dollars down the road in optical care. Polarized lenses are a great investment for your eye health and are vital to protecting your eyes from the sun and permanent eye damage. 

Polarized prescription sunglasses are available for men and women’s glasses at Wisconsin Vision. Our staff would be happy to assist you at any of our locations.

If you do not live near one of our physical Wisconsin Vision locations, we have an online option! You can also purchase sunglasses online through our online store, COR eyewear.  or through WisconsinVision.com
