Besides boaters, people that benefit most from polarized sunglasses include skiers, golfers, bikers, and joggers, who enjoy a clearer view and elimination of glare.

These sunglasses can be used for driving and in fact can reduce the glare that comes off a long, flat surface such as the hood of the car or the surface of a road. Polarized sunglasses can also be used indoors by light-sensitive people such as post-cataract surgery patients or by those exposed to bright light through windows.

Caution:

Polarized lenses should not be worn in some specialized situations.

These include, but are not limited to,

• anywhere on an aircraft flight deck - including the pilot's seat
• in an airport control tower

The reason for this is that the polarizing filters molded into the lenses can interfere with certain LCD & LED displays, windscreens,electronic instruments, gauges, polarized shades, etc. causing a loss of vital visual information.
