Safety is considered to be one of the most important criteria when purchasing a car – this should have a similar importance when selecting the correct sunglasses, which will be worn while driving.
If the sun’s rays are reflected on horizontal surfaces – such as e.g. a rainy road surface – the result is a disruptive glare, which distorts the true picture.
For brief moments, not even the contours of approaching vehicles or obstacles are visible to the driver; the driver only sees a flicker. Serious accidents can be the consequence.
The most intelligent sun protection for “motorist eyes“
Reflections on shiny surfaces are reduced with polarised lenses – such as a rainy road surface, for example. This is based on a principle of physics: reflected light waves are horizontally aligned and are unable to pass through the sunglasses’ vertically aligned polarisation filter – they are thereby efficiently filtered out. Contrasts can also be better perceived through polarised sun protection lenses –
such as those by Silhouette with the IQ POL technology.
Silhouette sunglasses for motorists
For its current SUN 2008 Collection, the Austrian eyewear manufacturer Silhouette has developed ten rimless and screwless sunglass models – all of which are available with polarised sun protection lenses in three different colours.
The light and screwless sunglasses protect the motorist’s eyes with the IQ POL technology in the colours green, grey, and brown, and guarantee a relaxed vision, as well as the most intelligent sun protection for the eyes.
While the grey glasses are ideal for bright, sunny days, the green and brown ones also lighten the surroundings in diffuse lighting conditions.
