![]() FAQ's What is a polarizing device or filter? Light, which reflects off surfaces such as pavement, water, snow and automobiles produces reflections commonly known as "glare". To filter out this glare, a polarizer is used; such as in special lenses for high quality sunglasses, ski goggles and camera filters. PolaVisor® is precision manufactured with the same type of polarizing material. See: How polarizing material works.
