How to Tell if Sunglasses Are Polarized

Do you want to be able to tell if sunglasses are polarized? It's not as difficult as you might think. There are some quick tricks with which you can check if you have polarized lenses.

How to tell if lenses are polarized?

Check with water

One of the easiest ways to determine is by checking the lens with water. Place a few drops of water on the lens and look at the reflections. If you see a rainbow-like reflection, then you have polarized sunglasses.

Another way to tell is if you can see objects in water more clearly when you're wearing them. This is because polarized sunglasses reduce glare, making it easier to see underwater.

Look for vertical lines.

Try looking for vertical lines in your sunglasses. Polarized lenses will block out horizontal light while allowing vertical light to pass through. So, by looking at a surface (like a building or the side of a car) with straight lines, you should be able to tell if you have polarized sunglasses.

Computer Testing

You can also test them with a computer. There are a few different ways to do this, but the most common is using a polarizing filter. This will help you determine if the lenses on your sunglasses are blocking out horizontal light.

Compare Lenses

You can also compare the lenses. Polarized lenses will typically have a different appearance than non-polarized lenses. They might be a different color or have a specific texture to them. 

If you're looking for a pair of sunglasses that will provide you with the best-polarized protection, we recommend investing in Treehut's sunglasses for men and women. They are stylish and popular among celebrities, but they also offer some of the best polarization available on the market.

And, if you already have a pair of sunglasses that you love, but they don't have polarized lenses, don't worry! You can still get the benefits of polarization by using a polarized lens attachment. This is a small filter that attaches to the front of your sunglasses and helps to reduce glare.

Conclusion

Sunglasses with polarized lenses can offer many benefits, such as reducing glare, improving vision, reducing eye fatigue, preventing headaches and migraines, and enhancing contrast. To tell if your sunglasses have polarized lenses, you can check for a rainbow-like reflection, look at vertical lines, or test them with a polarizing filter. If you're not sure which pair of sunglasses to buy, compare the lenses to see if they are polarized. Lastly, if you already have a pair of sunglasses that you love, check if they have polarized lenses – you might be able to get even more benefits from them! Polarized sunglasses can make a big difference in your everyday life.
