Light reflected from surfaces such as a flat road or smooth water is usually horizontally polarized. This means that, in lieu of light being scattered in all directions in more usual ways, reflected light usually travels in a more horizontally oriented direction. This creates an annoying and sometimes hazardous intensity of light that they experience as glare.Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks this type of intense reflected light, reducing glare.
Though polarized sun shades improve polarized sunglasses comfort and visibility, there's some instances when these lenses may not be advisable. One example is downhill skiing, where you don't require to block light reflecting off cold patches because this alerts skiers to hazards they are approaching. In addition, polarized lenses may reduce the visibility of images produced by liquid crystal displays (LCDs) found on the dashboards of some cars or in other places such as the digital screens on automatic teller (bank) machines.
With polarized lenses, you also may be unable to see your mobile phone or GPS device. Boaters and pilots also have reported similar issues when viewing LCD displays on device panels, which can be an important issue when it comes to making split-second decisions based strictly on information displayed on a panel.
