The sun in Hawaii is extremely strong and it can make it a little difficult to see during the day. You know that you need sunglasses to make it easier to see, but you may not know that you need polarized glasses to give yourself even better vision during the day. If you live in the Kailua-Kona area, call our optometry center to schedule an eye exam. While you are here, choose from our selection of polarized sunglasses at Wally Kojima, O.D. and Associates. Let’s look at what polarized glasses can provide.

Cutting the Glare

When you look around during the day, there are countless places where the sun bounces off a surface and into your eyes. This happens on the water as well as on smooth surfaces like cars. The glare that this causes makes it extremely hard to see and can make it difficult to drive or spend time at the beach. You can cut down on this glare with polarized glasses. The lenses filter out the light that is bouncing diagonally into your eyes so that you don't have the same bright glare in front of you. This can make a wide range of tasks easier as well as help you avoid damage that a bright glare can do to your eyes.

Brighter, Sharper Vision

If you love all of the beautiful colors of Hawaii, you may not see all of them thanks to haze or glare. When you wear polarized lenses, you will see brighter colors and objects that look sharper. These lenses block light going in all directions that are not straight, and this blocks haze in the air from your vision. It allows you to see Hawaii as it was meant to be seen, in all its majestic colors.
