What's the difference between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses? Is one better than the other?
It turns out that whether or not you use polarized or non-polarized sunglasses makes a big difference! Polarized sunglasses are powerful tools for reducing glare and making it easier to see in a lot of situations, but they do have some drawbacks.
In this video, I break down:
- What polarization means and why it matters
- What exactly polarized sunglasses are and how they work
- Pros and cons of polarized vs. non-polarized lenses
- Real examples comparing the performance of polarized and non-polarized lenses
- A polarization magic trick!
Polarized sunglasses can be especially useful for anyone who suffers from light sensitivity, migraines, or bright reflections around them in general. Polarized sunglasses are also great for fishing! Watch the video to learn why.
