That perfect holiday selfie looks a lot better when you aren’t squinting at the camera from the sun’s glare! It’s also much easier to get your best performance on the golf course, or if you’re trying your hand at an activity like fishing when glare isn’t getting in the way.
Horizontal glare can present more of a problem whether you’re on holiday or staying in London town for the summer – including when you’re driving or pounding the pavement on foot or by bicycle. That’s why it’s well worth investing in a pair of polarised sunglasses from Maui Jim UK – the eyewear industry leaders when it comes to beating horizontal glare.
What exactly is horizontal glare?
Before we dive into what makes Maui Jim our number one choice for polarised sunglasses, here’s a little bit of science.
Horizontal glare refers specifically to the reflection of sunlight off flat, shiny and/or smooth surfaces. This includes bodies of water, snow-covered surfaces, golf greens, car bonnets and roads. The result is strain on your eyes and reduced visibility.
Maui Jim saves the day
Or rather, saves you from sunny days filled with distracting horizontal glare! Maui Jim sunglasses are designed with their patented PolarizedPlus2® lenses, which use a special filter to significantly reduce or even eliminate horizontal glare. They also block 100% of UV rays, which has earned them official seal of approval from the Skin Cancer Foundation.
When you wear a pair of PolarizedPlus2® sunglasses from Maui Jim, the world won’t be plunged into darkness. Instead colours are more vivid, your vision is clearer, and depth perception is improved as a result of the polarised lenses being infused with 3 rare Earth elements.
