Eyeglasses & Eye Care Info

     There are many options you can look for when picking out a pair of quality driving glasses.Enjoy your ride more with a good pair of driving sunglasses. Whether on a leisurely tour of your own town’s little back roads or tearing up the highway on a long haul road trip, a good pair of driving sunglasses can improve your enjoyment and safety.  When driving, you are often confronted with glare from reflected light. Light reflected from smooth flat surfaces, such as roadways or even the hood of a car, is horizontally polarized. Such glare is obnoxious and dangerous. Polarized sunglasses lenses work to cancel out this horizontally polarized light.

Mirrored lenses reduce glare by reflecting light from the lens surface. Some mirrored lenses actually look reflective while some function like a mirror but are transparent. This is especially important if you drive a convertible, drive with your windows down, or drive a motorcycle. There is always the risk of being pelted with some sort of debris while driving. This debris could be precipitation, insects, or even kickback from other vehicles such as gravel or litter. Impact resistant sunglasses lenses protect your eyes not only from glare, but from foreign objects. While glare from sunlight can be irritating, UV radiation from sunlight can actually be dangerous to your health. Make sure that the lenses in your driving sunglasses offer 100% UV radiation protection. The less distractions you have while driving the more enjoyable and safe your drive will be. Taking the time to pick out sunglasses frames that fit well mean that you won’t be distracted by frames that slip, pinch, or are otherwise uncomfortable.
