Polarisation: Sunlight reflected from a horizontal surface, such as a road or a body of water, becomes horizontally polarised, which we perceive as unpleasant glare. Vertical light is beneficial to the human eye, whereas glare reduces visual clarity.
Non-polarised sunglasses do not block glare; however, polarised sunglasses block both UV radiation and glare, allowing you to see more clearly while protecting your eyes from harmful radiation.
Eyewear Care: Wash your glasses in lukewarm water with a neutral soap. Always dry them with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or alcohol. To maintain optimal vision quality, protect the lenses from scratches. If visible damage occurs, the sunglasses should be replaced, as there is a risk of impaired vision or injury. When not in use, store your glasses in a protective case.
Information: In sensitive individuals, the material of the product may cause an allergic reaction when in contact with the skin. The product has a service life of 2 years. After this period, inspect the glasses carefully and discontinue use if any damage is found.
Warning: Do not use the glasses in a solarium or against any artificial source of UV radiation. Do not use them at dusk or at night, and do not look directly at the sun while wearing them. These are not safety glasses.
