Glare interferes with your ability to see clearly on sunny days, and it can be dangerous when you’re driving. Polarized lenses from Allens Creek Family Optometry reduce glare, improving both clarity and comfort for the wearer. Located in Rochester, NY, eye doctors Joan Kaplow and Amar Sayani can fit you for a new pair of corrective polarized glasses—or provide you with non-prescription versions that you can wear with contact lenses.

Glare occurs when sunlight is reflected from a horizontal surface, such as the road, water, or even the hood of your car. Polarized lenses eliminate glare because they block horizontal rays. Although your windshield may provide some protection from the sun’s rays, glare can still be a problem when you're driving, especially in high-traffic areas where light reflects off other vehicles. 

Your vision will be crisp and clear, even on the sunniest days, when you wear polarized lenses. Polarized lenses are ideal for any situation when you're exposed to sunlight. You may associate polarized lenses with sunglasses, but they’re also available in a clear version. Whether you want clear or dark lenses for your glasses, the team at Allens Creek Family Optometry will help you find the perfect pair of frames for your new lenses.

Eye strain, redness, eye irritation, and headaches can occur due to glare. It can even trigger migraine headaches in some people. When you put on a pair of glasses with polarized lenses, you’ll be amazed at the difference it will make to improve your visual acuity and comfort.
