Polarized vs. Non-polarized: what’s the real difference?

Polarized lenses reduce glare from flat surfaces (water, roads, snow). That means clearer contrast, truer color and less eye strain when light bounces straight at you. They’re a favorite for driving, beaches, snow and long days outside.
Non-polarized lenses still block UV400—so your eyes are protected—but they don’t filter that horizontal glare. Why choose them? Some people prefer the more natural brightness for city use, screens, or photography, and they’re usually lighter on the wallet.
How we do it at Opulence:

• Luxe — all polarized UV400.

• Premium — UV400 with polarized and non-polarized options.

• Essential — non-polarized UV400 by design.
  No myths. No pressure. If you drive a lot or live by the sea, you’ll probably love polarized. If your days are mostly city, office, and short commutes, non-polarized UV400 may be perfect. Pick what fits your life—comfort is king.
