Fast Facts On Polarized Gascan

By Jerri Perry


Polarized gascan are eye accessories made of special polarized lenses. Aside from minimizing, if not totally eliminating the unwanted effects of glare, it also provides added protection to the eyes. What makes these sunglasses special and different from traditional non polarized sunglasses is the way they treat and filter light.

These glasses use Plutonite lens, which is a special kind of polycarbonate lens. The lens is designed to block all UV rays and is also described as the lightest material available for use in lenses. This has low thermal conductivity that makes them slow to heat up. Therefore it less likely to produce fog, making it ideal for eye wear.

The visible light is composed of waves that travel in different directions. Vertical light is what helps us see the objects on the surroundings while horizontal light creates glare. Glare is cause by concentrated light that is reflected by a shiny horizontal surface. More often than not, glare can vision difficulties.

What non polarized lenses do is randomly filter the light coming from all directions, may it be horizontal or vertical. This minimizes glare but it does not totally eliminate it. Since even the vertical light is filtered as well, the wearer's visual clarity is also affected.

However, polarized lenses use filters of special kind. The material allows vertical light waves to pass through. This gives its wearer a much clearer view. Meanwhile, horizontal light is blocked. As a result, the glare is also eliminated.

Since flat, shiny and horizontal materials are known to cause glare, these special sunglasses are specially useful for people who are into water sports. Water surface is known for partially polarizing light waves through horizontal reflection. Wearing these sunglasses eliminate glare and therefore makes the water appear more transparent which gives you better view of things below the water surface. Also, peripheral sight is enhanced by XYZ Optics which is an innovation that is used to maintain clarity of vision at different angles.

Notwithstanding, there are conditions when these sunglasses are not very helpful at all. To easily spot and identify patches of ice, skiing on ice relies on the amount of visible glare. Ice are known to create more glare compared to the snow. As such, wearing these accessories make it hard to locate the patches which could be dangerous when skiing.

Viewing LCD is also affected when using these lenses. Hence they are not preferred for activities which involves the use of LCD display screen like pilots and boaters who rely on instruments that uses the LCD technology. Some manufacturers have fixed this issue but many still have to get this fixed.

Different manufacturers use different technologies to achieve polarized lenses. As for the polarized gascan sunglasses, it uses the liquid infusion process to bond the filter at molecular level. To achieve the design, two lenses are cut from one lens shield that has a special curve and are then mounted to a special frame which follows the original and continuous contour. The frame is also made lightweight and stress resistant. The impact tests also shows that it conforms to the ANSI Z87.1 standards that gives an assurance for added protection for the user.
