What is Polarized Lens and Do You Need It?

Polarized lenses are designed to reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, roads, or glass. By filtering out horizontal light waves, they improve visual clarity, contrast, and comfort, especially in bright sunlight.

The Benefits

  • Reduced glare: makes driving, fishing, or outdoor activities safer and more comfortable.
  • Less eye strain: less squinting, reduced fatigue, better comfort for daily wear.
  • True color perception: colors appear more natural and vibrant, improving overall vision quality.

When They’re Not Ideal

Polarized lenses are not suitable for everyone. They can reduce visibility of LCD screens (phones, GPS, tablets) and slightly alter color perception, which may be inconvenient for photography or art. They are also less effective in low-light conditions.

At Maison Mata, we design sunglasses with 100% UVA/UVB protection. Our polarized lenses are carefully selected to reduce glare in Bali’s strong tropical light, while offering clear and comfortable vision.

For those who prefer, we also provide non-polarized lens options, prescription lenses, and custom tint choices.
