elton Advantage, the benefits of
polarized lenses
When we set out to design the best Sunglasses possible for the outdoorsman, we had one goal in mind. To offer today's sportsman the highest quality product at the best price, while offering value equal to that of the best and highest priced sunglasses available. We take your vision very seriously. The sun's visual rays, those you can actually see with the naked eye, can cause nausea, headaches, and even pain if taken in too high a dosage, plus the UV light given off by the sun can cause serious damage to the eyes. An overabundance of visible light can also bleach the rod receptor sites of the eye, impairing night vision.
We believe that sunglasses for the sportsman should be more a matter of function than fashion, and that sunglasses should be regarded as a total system combining function, design and style. elton polarized sunglasses are designed for optimum performance while out of doors. They enhance your vision and reduce eye strain, offering true protection for your eyes from the harmful effects of the sun.

Ask anyone who knows fishing or boating and they will tell you that polarized sunglasses are a must. They are much more than just sunglasses, they are essential equipment. Here's why: Polarization is one of the fundamental properties of light waves. Light is polarized by reflection. When light strikes a surface, like water, it becomes scattered and travels in all directions like a 4th of July sparkler. This is what is commonly known as glare. This glare produces eyestrain and discomfort because the eye must work harder to overcome an increase in brightness while trying to view objects which appear washed-out. This is why fishermen, for example, know the advantage of wearing polarized sunglasses. They eliminate the water's glare, which enables them to see fish clearly beneath the surface.
Regular sunglasses, regardless of the cost, are only colored plastic or glass and do nothing to block out glare. These ordinary sunglasses just reduce the amount of visible light that reaches the eye, but the problem of glare still remains. Many times the lenses used in these ordinary sunglasses are of poor quality and tend to distort vision which, at best, is annoying, but they may also be harmful and fatiguing to the wearer.
A polarized lens, on the other hand, is a true optical filter which only allows the useful light traveling from the object viewed to reach the eye, while blocking all the glare caused by the scattered light traveling in many different random directions. When objects are viewed through a polarized lens, they appear sharper. Colors are seen more vividly and in true natural proportion, due to the removal of the scattered white light. When the glare is eliminated, the eyes don't have to work as hard or squint to see. This reduces eye strain. The result is a sunglass which actually is soothing to the eyes. The simple fact is, Polarized lenses offer visual acuity and comfort unavailable in any other kind of lens.
