What Is A Polarized Gascan

By Jerri Perry


In a nutshell, the polarized gascan are sunglasses that use special kind of polarized lenses. It does not only eliminate the unwanted glare and its detrimental effects, but it also provides enhanced protection for the eyes. What makes these sunglasses different from standard and non polarized ones are basically on how they treat the light waves.

This type of eye wear uses Plutonite lenses, a polycarbonate lens of special kind. By design, these lenses blocks both UV A and UV B from passing through the lens and is also the lightest material used in the manufacturing of lens. Aside from the said quality, these lenses are known for its low thermal conduction. This means that it heats up relatively slower and are less likely to fog. Such properties make it best suited for eye wear.

The light in the surroundings travel in different and sometimes scattered directions. What our eyes use to see are vertical light waves. Meanwhile, horizontal light waves are what comprises glare. Glare happens when light is reflected by a flat, shiny horizontal surface of an object.

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.

While these sunglasses are generally useful, there are cases wherein they are not supposed to be used. For example, skiing atop icy surfaces requires you to be careful on patches of ice which you can easily identify because they produce more glare than snow. Since these sunglasses filters glare, it is harder to check these patches.

Also, viewing images on an LCD screen is affected when using these sunglasses. Hence, they are not recommended for use by people who rely on equipments that uses LCD displays such as navigation equipments used by pilots and boaters. Fortunately, some manufacturers have already fixed this issue on the product.

The manufacturing process involved in the creation of the specialized lenses used for the product entails the use of different technologies. For the polarized gascan lenses, liquid infusion technology is used. This makes it possible for the filter to bond at molecular level. Two of the lenses are cut from a single shield of lens that has a special contour. These are then attached to a frame which is designed to maintain the original continuous contour. The frame itself is lightweight and is also stress resistant. To give reliable impact protection to the eye, the lens itself was subjected to impact test and shows to meet the ANSI Z87.1 standards.
