Polarized Sunglasses: What is the difference?
Polarized / Polarised sunglasses are different to regular tinted sunglasses.
The glare reduction in the polarized example shows us the POV of those that wear polarized sunglasses.
Polarized vs Normal

Polarised sunnies really help with light-sensitive headaches in the concrete jungle of our cities.
Great video, you explained it well. One thing I was hoping that you were going to mention is when you use polarized sunglasses with electronics like mobile phones. It can be annoying if you can't see your phone screen so well and it can be awesome if advertisement screens get blocked :D

You're holding it wrong. OK, in this case, just turning the phone allows you to see the infernal thing again.
you should do a video of visual snow syndrome. its amazing how not many people know about it or understand what people like me see every day especially at night.

I actually found this video when I was searching his channel to see if he made a video on visual snow syndrome. I could never get anyone to tell me what it was (and people often looked at me like I had two heads). I forget what I was looking up, but I came across it online when googling something about my eyes a year or so ago, and am so glad I found it. I'm glad I finally have a name for it, but yeah also hope he does a video on it someday! I have a LOT of chronic health problems that were worse than my eye symptoms (at the time), so I'm behind on learning about all that stuff
Your videos are so comprehensive and down to Earth ❤
A really helpful video, thanks. The best demonstration I've seen of the differences between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses.
I have recently subscribed to your channel. You explain things really simple and clear.
Hi Antonio! I found your videos ahead of my optometrist appointment trying to see what contact lenses would work well with dry eyes. I have to say that I’m hooked and watched your earlier videos from 2 years ago (which were also great but you’ve also improved a lot!). I really appreciate you taking the time to make these educational videos and I hope you keep doing them!
heyo Antonio I love my polarized sunglasses, I'm super light sensitive due to acanthamoeba infection and am mostly blind eliminating the glare helps so much have a beautiful day!

I was wondering how you filmed things
Hey Antonio! Just wanted to say I love you channel, and I have a video request if it would be possible for you to take it. I have binocular diplopia as well as astigmatism and I loved your astigmatism video. I was wondering if you’d also be able to do a video like that one but for double vision? Cheers!
Great video, thanks for showing the difference. I have recently had to update the lenses in my sunnies. I have been wearing polarised lenses for years as I am quite light sensitive. My optometrist recommended brown polarised lenses for those overcast glary days we get in Melbourne & then a black/grey lense for Summer, when we have those sunny days. I am wondering what the difference would be. I am not sure I can justify having 2 pairs of sunnies because of the price. Have a great day. Cheers Donna
Very informative!. But I'm wondering why some people can see the honeycomb of the polarization? Both my mom and I can see it, doesn't matter if it's sunglasses, car windows, etc. She sees a honeycomb across the whole lens or glass, I just get it in my peripherals. We both have to specifically ask for no polarization to our glasses because this honeycomb effect affects our vision (causes eyestrain and headaches) and interacts badly with most vehicle windshields. She was told it was her astigmatism, but that doesn't explain mine (never diagnosed with astigmatism).
This is off topic. I am curious if you can explain low eye pressure and how to get the pressure in the eye to a good normal level. Thank you.
Hey i saw your video on what it's like to have different forms of Astigmatism and I thought it was quite good. A video similar to it that I would love for you to make would be one covering Visual Snow Syndrome.
😊❤thank you for the lesson, I just bought polarized sunglasses today
I have a non sunglasses related question. What are the clear stringy things that can stretch across your eye? I usually jusy pull em out and they can be sooo long
Interesting, is the polarization lense direction dependent on where you are in the world? All the sunglasses I’ve bought here in the US have had 45 degree polarization, or at least all the ones I’ve checked by looking at LCD screens or cross crossing with other polarized lenses.
I always get polarised sunnies as in Scotland it rains and then the sun comes out blinding me with glare.
I have astignatism and nistagmus in the verticle plan, some times polarised sunglasses can make it easier for me to read.
Can you do video abt castor oil? Can one put it in the eye? Sterile kind of coarse. Is it good for Blephritis? How to use it?
Great content! Tnx mch frm🇵🇭
You didn't explain at all whether they are a scam or not. Not that it was necessary, but the thumbnail implied such a discussion.
In a prescription polarized lens with astigmatism correction, does the angle for the correction interfere with the protection?

Shouldn’t
Can you tell us about sunglasses some doctors tell it harmful to eyes even the high end brands. On the other hand some doctors say you should wear them even if it cheep one.

Polarized goggles on snow can be a major con and/or dangerous. It sounds good on paper, but snow is not a flat surface. They limit your ability to see icy patches and other aspects of snow texture. Like a flat light day all the time. Sometimes the ability to see glare is a good thing. They increase contrast, but decrease snow clarity. They make the snow look fuzzy and smooth limiting your ability to see texture and even small bumps/divots. Most are not polarized for this reason. They exist, but are not common or the norm. You’re better off with a mirror lens. Polarized lenses are good for flat surfaces, but there are risks/cons too (disappointed you didn’t mention any). Any digital screen will be difficult to see, including stoplights! They aren’t the norm yet, but if you live somewhere with the newer lights, it is difficult to tell which is lit up. You also missed the most obvious activity that most polarized glasses are made for..Fishing! Polarized lenses allow you to see into the water and actually see the fish. Pretty much every website that sells googles or sunglasses show this comparison. Was hoping for something more in depth like your other videos. It seems like this was made as an ad or promo deal.
I swore off polarized lenses after buying my first car with multiple digital displays in place of traditional instruments. The lenses made it impossible to see large swaths of the screens.
WARNING: if your car has head-up display (HUD), you won’t be able to see it with polarized sunglasses
Nice comparison, but I don't think you've shown the full potential of polarized sunglasses. I have once tested a pair near some water and it was MAGIC, it went from "white glare" to "oh my god I can see the bottom perfectly". And generally I think that pair removed the glare a lot better than your camera filter. Disclaimer: I don't wear polarized sunglasses or know any specifics, just thought to share my experience.
Pilots would benefit greatly from polarized lenses too. Except they can't, because that makes displays (on every bit of vital instrumentation) very difficult to see, unless you awkwardly tilt your head. Is there anything an LCD manufacturer can do differently to make their displays compatible with polarized sunglasses?

Polarized windows?

It is because the displays are already polarized to begin with, using another polarized lens will just block it out
The polarizer you are using is of poor quality. The polarizer I use in my photography have a much greater effect in my final image. Good example, poorly executed.
