Are you bothered by glare from the low winter sun?

Normal prescription sunspecs may not be the answer.

Our UV sun lenses from Kodak feature polarising technology. These lenses reduce brightness like ordinary tinted lenses, but also reduce glare and reflections from vehicles and wet roads. Once patients try a polarising lens they rarely go back to ordinary prescription sunspecs.
