What are polarized sunglasses?

Polarized sunglasses are a very useful item that cuts out unnecessary reflected light from dazzling and difficult-to-see scenery, ensuring a comfortable and clear view.
It has become an essential item for outdoor activities such as fishing and golf, and for driving. It is useful in a variety of situations and applications because it can cut out all kinds of reflected light that is present in our daily lives, not only from the glare of the surface of water or grass, but also from road surfaces, buildings, and car glass.

Select by visible light transmittance

Visible light transmittance is a numerical representation of the amount of light that is taken in; the smaller the number, the greater the percentage of light that is blocked.

Generally, polarized sunglasses with a visible light transmittance of 30% or less should be used during the day on sunny days, and with a visible light transmittance of 40% or more when the amount of light is reduced, such as on cloudy or bad weather days, early in the morning, or in the evening.
