Question 1

What are polarised lenses?

Accepted Answer

When light reflects off surfaces like car windshields, snow, or water, it scatters in various directions, with some waves moving vertically and others horizontally.

Vertical waves are absorbed, while horizontal waves bounce off surfaces. This can lead to polarization, potentially causing glare, which can strain the eyes and hinder visibility.

Our Polarised Lenses effectively diminish glare from reflective surfaces. If you're sensitive to sunlight (experiencing eye strain or migraines), spend a lot of time outdoors (engaging in activities like sailing, fishing, running or hiking), or frequently drive in wet and sunny conditions, investing in polarised sunglasses is a good idea

Polarised lenses are available in our Lifestyle Series here.

Question 5

How do I care for my lenses?

Accepted Answer

Your SunGods Lenses are made from ultra-durable materials, but a little extra care will ensure they last even longer.

SunGod lenses are scratch-resistant, not scratchproof. To help maintain the optical clarity of your lenses, we recommend always transporting and storing your SunGods in the 100% microfibre pouch provided.
Never place your SunGod lenses down on hard or abrasive surfaces, or leave unprotected in your pocket or bag where sharp objects may cause lens damage.
SunGod lenses should only be cleaned with the provided 100% microfibre pouch. Regular cleaning will help to extend the life of your lenses.
SunGod lenses are salt water safe, but prolonged exposure may over time damage the coating on your lenses. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh warm water after exposure to salt water, sun cream or sweat.

With the right level of care your lenses should stay looking perfect - and performing perfectly - for many years. However if you do wish to replace your lenses, replacement Lens Kits are available here. You can also purchase Lens Cleaning Kits here.
