Protection Anti-Glare Sunglasses

Polarized Lenses Vs. "Extreme Glare" Swiss Technology

The eye is one of the most important parts of our bodies and at the same time one of the most sensitive. Though we think of our eyes as important, these are the parts of our bodies that we usually take for granted. Environmental change is inevitable, thus having a direct impact on us. UVB and UVA rays have harmful effects on our eyes. The effects they can have on our eyes are most often irreversible and cannot be noticed until the damage is done and it is too late.

Extreme Glare Sunglasses aim to provide the best proper eye protection for everyday use as well as for sports enthusiasts. With our Swiss Technology Zurich Extreme Glare Sunglasses, your eyes are fully protected no matter where you are. With the years of optical experience we have, and thorough extensive research and Swiss technology, we were able to present to you sunglasses made for ultimate protection, comfort and style. The protection is not limited to the sun’s rays, however. The wrap around style of our Extreme Glare Sunglasses protects the eyes from all manner of debris as well. The comfort of this design is also important for active people. Our sunglasses will not move around or fall off, even with abrupt motions.

Extreme Glare Zurich Sunglasses is a product of the need for proper eye protection for those serious sports enthusiasts who are subject to the tough conditions from the sun, glare and even small debris. We wanted to make the perfect protective sunglasses for those sports enthusiasts as well as those who stay under the sun for long periods of time.

We do understand that there are so many different sunglasses on the market today; and one of the most popular types of sunglasses are polarized sunglasses. Though polarized lenses have been around quite some time, and have served their purpose quite well, there is new and better technology available that not only protects the eyes better but also provides much clearer vision. With Extreme Glare Sunglasses, there are no blotches on LCD screens or windshields and no distortions in vision.

We are providing here a short comparison of polarized lenses and our Extreme Glare Swiss Technology lenses. This way, you will be able to see the difference between them. Our aim is to help you choose the perfect eye protection sunglasses for your needs and pleasure.

Polarization was developed to reduce glare from reflective surfaces. Polarized lenses have done a good job for over 50 years and have been widely used by the public for a variety of reasons. Polarized lenses were never developed to look into the direct sunlight, however. Therefore, they have major limitations for situations wherein looking up toward the sun is necessary or unavoidable.

Polarized lenses produce “blotches” on windshields and on digital LED screens. This makes it very difficult to read a GPS, cell phone, gas pump, digital watch, or any other LC D (liquid crystal displays) instrument. Airline pilots have a very difficult time reading their instruments and looking through their windshields because of the altitude and often high glare and string sunlight conditions they face high in the sky. Pilots used polarized lenses for a long time, but the F.A.A. has ruled that pilots must no longer use polarized lenses in the cockpit. This was done for a very good reason – the polarized lenses cause distortions and make the instruments very hard to read. This can be extremely dangerous, especially at hundreds of thousands of feet above the ground.

Extreme Glare Swiss Technology was developed for extreme high altitude skiing and mountain climbing where one can be blinded quickly (in a few hours, or less) from the sun and all the harmful rays. Therefore, Extreme Glare Technology was purposely created to use in direct sunlight as well as on reflective surfaces to give the maximum protection in all conditions.

Polarized lenses are a good way to cut reflective glare, but there are other technologies available that reduce reflective glare also. If one can eliminate the glare on water, then it is possible to see the fish, the rocks, and the perils below the glary surface.

Extreme Glare Swiss Technology reduces the glare on reflective surfaces, but has the added ability to look up towards the sun without being blinded. It is never a good idea to look up into the sun as it is very dangerous. However, if you cannot avoid it, your eyes will be more protected by Extreme Glare Technology than by any other type of sunglass lens in the world.

With Extreme Glare Sunglasses, not only do the lenses protect your eyes from the sun’s glare, but also from debris. Our lenses have a designed wrap configuration to block the sun’s harmful U.V. rays, wind, and debris that can easily come it from the sides.

Our company has used Extreme Glare Swiss Technology to give sports enthusiasts and people who require extensive eye protection the best possible sunglasses. Exposing our eyes to the sun’s rays for long hours can damage them irreparably. Moreover, glare can take away from the enjoyment we would normally experience in the great outdoors. Different activities require different levels of protection for sunglasses because of the amount of UVA and UVB rays that can harm the eyes. Extreme Glare Sunglasses will protect your eyes perfectly under almost any conditions on Earth.

Outdoor activities like hiking, biking and skiing require proper eye protection. Extreme Glare Sunglasses come in different types and styles that will suit different eye protection needs. For sports enthusiasts who need intense eye protection because of the large amounts of UVB and UVA rays they encounter on slopes and other terrains, Extreme Glare Sunglasses are the perfect choice. For those who love skiing and snowboarding down the slopes, snow blindness is a great problem for unprotected eyes. With our protective sunglasses, you get protection from snow blindness caused by sun rays reflected off and magnified by the snow and ice. Our sunglasses also prevent ice and small debris in spray from getting to your eyes and harming them or causing momentary blindness and subsequent accidents.

Extreme Glare Sunglasses were designed to keep out small flying debris from getting into your eyes while skiing, biking or hiking. You may think of these small flying debris as harmless, but when they get in your eyes, they may cause abrasion and irritation to the eyes.

Whether you are hiking, climbing, or your home town is located in a high altitude area, eye protection is very much needed. At high altitudes, harmful UV rays are more concentrated, giving you more reason to have eye protection as a part of your priorities.

We do not only cater to those sports enthusiasts, but also have different variations of the Extreme Glare Sunglasses that are used and trusted by professionals like pilots. The Federal Aviation Administration has commissioned a study about the relationship of using the appropriate sunglasses to accidents. Through this study, the FAA was able to determine that polarized sunglasses are not appropriate for pilots. Polarized lenses eradicate the glare of reflective surfaces like objects that are made of glass or metal. Aside from this, polarized lenses are dangers rather than helps because, with the modern glass cockpit technology being used, polarized sunglasses can disfigure or totally block the LCD view. The conducted study is the FAA’s way of protecting the pilots’ eyes which are considered the most important of the 5 senses that we have.

When it comes to performing jobs or doing what you love best, like sports, the eyes play an important part. Thus the need for them to be protected. UV rays have great harmful effects on our eyes and the skin around them because of the vulnerability and sensitivity of these parts. When the eyes are not protected, this can lead to cataracts that blur the lens in the eye, leading to blindness in the long run. Sports enthusiasts and some professionals who are exposed to great amounts of UV rays need not to worry. These negative effects that the UV rays have on the eyes can be prevented through the proper eye protection available from Extreme Glare Sunglasses.

As studies have shown, prolonged exposure to the sun without adequate protection can lead to permanent damage to the eyes. Excessive exposure to UV light reflected from sand, streets or snow and ice, aside from other more well-known reflective surfaces, can greatly affect the eyes by producing burns on the eye surface. UV light is also known as a risk factor for different eye diseases like cataracts, where there is a clouding of the lens. Pterygium is also one of the eye diseases that results from cumulative damage due to frequent exposure to UV light. Pterygium is an eye condition where a growth invades the corner of the eye, usually progressing from the nasal side of the sclera. Another of the common diseases that results from excessive exposure to the UV light is macular degeneration. This is a medical condition which causes the center of the visual field, also known as the macula, to lose vision. Macular degeneration occurs due to damage to the retina, the most common and easily caused being retinal burns from exposure to the sun’s rays.
