POLARIZED LENSES, MAXIMUM PROTECTION WHEN SWIMMING ON THE BEACH OR DOING WATER SPORTS

You've probably heard about polarized lenses and the extra protection they provide. Until recently, these materials were reserved for certain athletes and drivers who spent long hours behind the wheel. Nowadays, however, their use has spread to the general population and they are featured in a selection of fashionable sunglasses designed for both sexes. But how do they actually work and what exactly are their benefits?

What are polarized crystals and what advantages do they have?

When sunlight reflects off horizontal surfaces such as asphalt, snow, or water, among others, the vibrations experienced by the waves intensify, creating light that, due to its intense brightness, is extremely irritating to the eyes. This is where these components come into play, blocking the reflection of light and allowing only harmless light to pass through.

This phenomenon results in glare-free vision with natural contrast and color, which can be summarized in a series of advantages over conventional lenses:

• Increased sharpness.
• Total protection against ultraviolet radiation.
• Considerable relief from eye fatigue.
• Increased ability to concentrate on the activities being carried out.
• Greater lightness and resistance of the materials.
• Adapted to the needs of people with high sensitivity to light.

Why polarization is important for the sea

The aforementioned characteristics of polarized lenses make them ideal for those who spend long periods of time in or near the sea. The water's surface acts as a screen against which the sun's rays bounce, causing glare that these lenses are able to completely mitigate.

As many of you can imagine, the features they offer prevent any potential eye discomfort when we find ourselves in environments dominated by water. This allows us to focus exclusively on the activities we're doing. Whether we're talking about a refreshing swim at the beach, a day of sailing, or practicing water sports of all kinds.

AWA Sunglasses, unique designs that protect your eyes and don't get lost

While it's true that more and more sunglasses manufacturers are opting for polarized lenses, there's another unique feature that only AWA Sunglasses can offer. We're talking about the impossibility of losing them if, due to a fall or carelessness, we drop them in the water. Thanks to their ultralight components, their models float instantly, making the challenge of finding them if they were to sink extremely easy.

As if that weren't enough, all their designs are conceived in line with the latest fashion trends, covering a wide range of tastes and styles, from the most classic to the most youthful and innovative. Despite their aesthetic differences, all of them have another common denominator that makes it easier for users to save money: their long-lasting durability is the result of their hydrophobic materials, which receive a hardening treatment that prevents breakage and scratching.
