Glare: The negative impact on your customers’ vision.

Glare reflected off transparent or wet surfaces is not only annoying and distracting – it can also affect vision.

  • Natural light travels in all directions, so it’s described as “unpolarised”. On a regular (unpolarised) surface light rays have a tendency to reflect in various directions, resulting in perceived glare. Polarised lenses however, ensure reflected light rays are directed in a single direction, usually horizontally.
  • As a result, distracting and potentially dangerous reflections are eliminated by polarised lenses. It improves the overall perceived quality of vision. This helps, for example, when your customer is driving, spending time at the sea or is out in the snow.
Polarised sunglasses: Comfortable vision without distracting glare.

ZEISS Polarised Lenses consist of various special layers with horizontally aligned molecules to form a dense grid. This greatly reduces glare and allows the wearer to experience the full brilliance and vibrancy of the colours.

It also offers maximum protection against potentially harmful UV light.
