2. Sunglasses - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunglasses

   Sunglasses can improve visual comfort and visual clarity by protecting the eye from glare. [24] The lenses of polarized sunglasses reduce glare reflected at some angles off shiny non-metallic surfaces, such as water. They allow wearers to see into water when only surface glare would otherwise be seen, and eliminate glare from a road surface ...

   Non-Polarized 180.7 Lux light penetration These shades are from Shinola—a Detroit-based brand—and look like they're built for sunny roads with a lunchtime picnic under a tree.

4. Unpolarized light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unpolarized_light

   Conversely, a polarizer acts on an unpolarized beam or arbitrarily polarized beam to create one which is polarized. Unpolarized light can be described as a mixture of two independent oppositely polarized streams, each with half the intensity. [3] [4] Light is said to be partially polarized when there is more power in one of these streams than ...

5. Brewster's angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster's_angle

   Polarized sunglasses use a sheet of polarizing material to block horizontally-polarized light and thus reduce glare in such situations. These are most effective with smooth surfaces where specular reflection (thus from light whose angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection defined by the angle observed from) is dominant, but even ...

6. Glasses - Wikipedia

   Typical sunglasses lenses are tinted for protection against bright light or polarized to remove glare; photochromic glasses are clear or lightly tinted in dark or indoor conditions, but turn into sunglasses when they come into contact with ultraviolet light. Most over-the-counter sunglasses do not have corrective power in the lenses; however ...

7. Anti-reflective coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coating

   Antireflective ophthalmic lenses should not be confused with polarized lenses, which are found only in sunglasses and decrease (by absorption) the visible glare of sun reflected off surfaces such as sand, water, and roads. The term "antireflective" relates to the reflection from the surface of the lens itself, not the origin of the light that ...
