In a nutshell, the polarized gascan are sunglasses that use special kind of polarized lenses. It does not only eliminate the unwanted glare and its detrimental effects, but it also provides enhanced protection for the eyes. What makes these sunglasses different from standard and non polarized ones are basically on how they treat the light waves.
These glasses use Plutonite lens, which is a special kind of polycarbonate lens. The lens is designed to block all UV rays and is also described as the lightest material available for use in lenses. This has low thermal conductivity that makes them slow to heat up. Therefore it less likely to produce fog, making it ideal for eye wear.
Light waves travel in different directions and that is how visible light is created. What helps us see are the light waves that travel vertically while horizontal light waves are responsible for glare. Glare is created when light is concentrated and is reflected by shiny, flat, horizontal surfaces.
What non polarized lenses do is randomly filter the light coming from all directions, may it be horizontal or vertical. This minimizes glare but it does not totally eliminate it. Since even the vertical light is filtered as well, the wearer's visual clarity is also affected.
To address this problem, Plutonite lenses makes use of a special kind of filter. The material in the lens allows the passage of vertical light waves while horizontal light waves are blocked. This eliminates glare totally while ensuring that the visual acuity is not compromised.
Since the flat and shiny water surface can add to the glare, people who are involved with water sports are best advised to use these accessories for best performance. The water surface polarizes the light waves partially through horizontal reflection. With these eye wear, glare is eliminated while the water appears to be more transparent allowing clearer view of what is below the surface. Aside from that, because of the XYZ Optics technology that helps maintain clarity of sight at any angle, the peripheral view is not sacrificed.
While these sunglasses are generally useful, there are cases wherein they are not supposed to be used. For example, skiing atop icy surfaces requires you to be careful on patches of ice which you can easily identify because they produce more glare than snow. Since these sunglasses filters glare, it is harder to check these patches.
Viewing LCD is also affected when using these lenses. Hence they are not preferred for activities which involves the use of LCD display screen like pilots and boaters who rely on instruments that uses the LCD technology. Some manufacturers have fixed this issue but many still have to get this fixed.
Depending on the manufacturer, these specialized lenses are created using different technologies. The polarized gascan lenses uses the process of liquid infusion. This makes it possible to bond the filters at molecular level. In this process, two lenses will be cut from a single lens shield with a special curve, and are then attached to the frame to maintain the original, continuous contour. On top of it, the frame is also stress resistant and lightweight. Furthermore, numerous tests have proven that the accessory meets the ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact protection which gives it reliable protection for those who wear it.
