We want you to fully understand how your polarized sunglasses work and why you might notice certain visual effects under specific conditions.
What Causes the Effect?
The visual effect you may observe — often rainbow-like patterns or slight distortions — is a result of the polarization of the lenses. Polarized lenses are designed to reduce glare from reflective surfaces, such as:
Water
Snow
Roads
This enhances visual comfort and clarity in bright conditions.
Why Do These Effects Appear on Screens?
When polarized lenses are placed in front of electronic displays — like smartphones, computer screens, or car dashboards — you may notice visual artifacts. This occurs because most electronic displays also use polarization to control light. When two polarized surfaces interact, they can create interference patterns or other visual effects.
Is This Normal?
Yes. This phenomenon is a normal characteristic of polarized lenses. It does not impact the overall quality, protective function, or optical performance of your sunglasses. It will not affect your vision during everyday use, including driving or outdoor activities.
