polarized lenses

Sunglasses' filtering inserts

Polarized lenses are eyeglass or sunglass lenses that filter out light waves oriented in certain directions, reducing glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, or roads.

The coating blocks horizontally polarized light while allowing vertically oriented light through: I wear polarized sunglasses when I'm fishing so I can see below the surface.
