The most hazardous is sunlight which is reflected from a flat surface such as water, a wet road or even a car bonnet. This reflected light causes intense glare – but it can be filtered out by choosing a polarized lens option. Light conditions vary and can change at any moment, especially here in the UK.

These lenses are also available with polarizing filters to filter out the reflected glare-causing light.
