"Now we are going to talk about polarized lenses and there's a few benefits to wearing polarized lenses. One of which is bringing distinction to objects. Regular tented lenses can look maybe a little bit grainy. I personally don't have a problem with the vision out of the tented lens but polarized lenses make objects a little bit easier to distinguish; really good if you're on the water lot; fisherman, a water skier, spend a lot of time at the pool, at the lake. Polarized lenses are going to give you that type of distinction in the water. Some people are going to say they can see the fish when they are fishing. Polarized used to... I used to tell patients they only come in two different colors. That's not true anymore. There are a ton of different options: the polarized gray, what they call a true gray, there's actually quite a few different grays; Neutral gray, regular gray, brown, what they call an neutral brown. This is a high contrast amber which is different. This one coming up is a sky blue. Now this is different from the blue that I was talking to you before. This is a polarized blue so, this is going to be a little bit different protection, it's not going to be like a tint. So, this would actually be relatively useful to you. There's is even a yellow. So, bottom line is ask your optician what type of what type of polarized lenses that they have. If they say they only come in brown and gray, which is usually the traditional answer, they probably don't know enough about the subject to really offer you that lens. Find somebody that's very knowledgeable about the subject. There's also, just so you'll know, two different textures of polarized lenses and one is extremely light so, when you ask for a polarized lens, ask for the darkest one. Like I said there are two different options; one dark, one light ant if the optician doesn't know the difference, again you could wind up in trouble when you receive your glasses. You may not have the product that you thought you were getting. So, find somebody knowledgeable, know your choices. As you saw, there's multiple different options for you. Then again kind of evaluate; are polarized lenses right for me? Do I spend a lot of time in the water? Have I seen finite on my traditional tented lenses? Because all and all, they both offer the same protection but, the polarized lenses do offer a little bit more distinction. "
