Everything You Need To Know About 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.

Regular lenses merely filters light, whether it is horizontal or vertical. This minimizes the effect of glare but does not necessarily eliminate it. However, since vertical light is also filtered, visual acuity is also affected and is therefore sacrificed. This is why regular lenses have become a challenge for eye wear manufacturers.

To address this problem, Plutonite lenses makes use of a special kind of filter. The material in the lens allows the passage of vertical light waves while horizontal light waves are blocked. This eliminates glare totally while ensuring that the visual acuity is not compromised.

These sun glasses are best suited for people who are engaged in any water sports. The flat and reflective water surface is well known to cause glares. The flat water surface creates glare by reflecting and partially polarizing the horizontal light waves. By eliminating glare, these sunglasses help make the water look much clearer as it helps you see what is beneath the surface. Furthermore, peripheral vision is improved by XYZ Optics, a technological innovation that maintains visual clarity at different angles of view.

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.
