RETURN TO LENS TECHNOLOGY

WHEN LIGHT REFLECTS ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE, ITS POLAR AXIS BECOMES ALIGNED WITH THAT SURFACE, THUS THE TERM "POLARIZED". POLARIZED LIGHT IS 7 TO 10 TIMES BRIGHTER THAN REGULAR LIGHT.

A LENS THAT DOES NOT HAVE A POLARIZED FILM DOES LITTLE MORE THAN DARKEN THE VIEW OF THE UN-PROTECTED EYE. THE EYE CAN NOT ELIMINATE REFLECTIVE GLARE. THE HUMAN EYE TRIES TO ADJUST TO GLARE BY RESTRICTING THE PUPIL TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT COMING INTO THE EYE. THE EFFECTS OF BRIGHT LIGHT ON THE HUMAN EYE ARE SIGNIFICANT. THE EYE REQUIRES A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF LIGHT TO FOCUS, SO IT MUST ALLOW IN SOME LIGHT AND THEREFORE ALSO GLARE. THE RESULT IS SQUINTING, TIRED EYES, HEADACHES, POOR VISION AND SUN DAMAGE TO THE EYE. EVEN THOUGH WE CAN'T SEE IT, ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT, OR UV, IS OF CONCERN BECAUSE OF ITS LONG TERM DAMAGING EFFECTS ON THE EYE. THE GREATEST CONCERN IS CATARACTS.

HOW DOES THE ICE-TECH ADVANCED POLARIZED LENS WORK?

THE ICE-TECH LENS IS MADE USING A COMBINATION OF THE HIGEST QUALITY LENS MATERIALS COMBINED WITH THE ICE-TECH ADVANCED POLARIZED FILTER. THE OUTER AND INNER LENS ARE BONDED WITH THIS CENTER ELEMENT, THE ICE-TECH ADVANCED POLARIZED FILTER.

EACH LENS IS MADE WITH THIS ICE-TECH ADVANCED POLARIZED FILTER THAT ELIMINATES OVER 99% OF THE POLARIZED LIGHT AND GLARE. THE ICE-TECH ADVANCED POLARIZED FILTER IS MADE UP OF VERTICALLY STACKED, PARALLEL CHAINS OF IODINE CRYSTALS THAT BLOCK HORIZONTALLY POLARIZED LIGHT. THE REMAINING LIGHT FALLS INTO A NARROW RANGE OF INTENSITY THAT THE EYE CAN EASILY HANDLE. THIS ADVANCED POLARIZED FILTER IS LIKE LOOKING THOUGH A MICRO MINI BLIND ONLY 1/10 OF A MILLIMETER IN THICKNESS. IMAGINE THE REFLECTED GLARE FROM A CAR WINDSHIELD OR THE REFLECTED GLARE OF THE SUN ON WATER OR SNOW. NOW IMAGINE LOOKING AT THAT SAME GLARE THROUGH A MINI BLIND THAT IS ADJUSTED SO YOU CAN SEE PERFECTLY. YOU DO NOT NEED A SUPER DARK WINDOW BECAUSE THE MINI BLIND KNOCKS OUT THE GLARE.

HOW DOES POLARIZATION HELP THE HEALTH OF MY EYES?

THE ICE-TECH ADVANCED POLARIZED LENS ALLOWS LIGHT TO FILTER THROUGH BUT CUTS OUT THE HARMFUL GLARE. THIS REDUCTION IN INTENSITY OF THE POLARIZED LIGHT ALLOWS THE PUPIL OF THE EYE TO REMAIN IN A MORE CONSTANT AND RELAXED STATE. THIS REDUCES EYE STRAIN AND SUN DAMAGING EFFECTS WHILE GIVING THE EYE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF LIGHT TO FOCUS.
