New for the summer: Polar
Varionet has received a brand new collection from the Polar brand!
What is this brand?
The Polar brand has positioned itself as one of the great references in the optical world thanks to its models that offer the customer exactly what he is looking for. Thanks to this, the brand has become world famous . The Polar brand makes glasses for men, women and children.
These are reading glasses with polarizing clips , with plastic or metal frames and classic lenses with a polarizing clip, ie anti-reflective sun protection . They are therefore both "classic" reading glasses, but also solar reading glasses or sunglasses.
What are Polar clip-on glasses?
Polar glasses are supplied with a clip , i.e. a second pair of glasses, solar and polarizing . This second pair of glasses is fixed on the "classic" glasses thanks to 2 magnets on each side of the glasses. So much so that for a single pair of glasses purchased you have the impression of having 2 ! You can choose to use classic reading glasses, or solar and polarized magnetic glasses.
What is a polarizing lens?
The principle of polarizing glasses is quite simple to understand: it is a polarizing film fixed between 2 layers of glasses. These are sunglasses with an additional filter that allows you to remove reflections due to the reverberation of the sun on the water (for fishing) or on the ground (for driving). Polarized lenses prevent glare .
The advantages of polarizing lenses
Reverberation is a phenomenon that tires the eye very quickly. Glare is made up of parasitic reflections that blur vision and force you to squint your eyes to try to see more clearly. It can be very annoying. This is the case when we are at sea (on a boat) or in the mountains (when the snow surrounds us). Wearing polarized lenses then helps to see correctly without having to make any effort ! You will have a reduction in fatigue as well as greater visual comfort .
Speaking of reflective surfaces, the road is just one place to find them! When driving, the sun's rays can reflect both on the road and on the windows of the vehicles around us. Polarizing lenses therefore help in this situation to prevent glare, which can help avoid or better manage dangerous situations . The visual comfort it brings is also an advantage for clearly perceiving all the information.
Polar glasses on Varionet
On www.varionet.com you will find the new Polar collection with polarizing clips . Take your pick, you won't be disappointed!

Sun reading glasses
Holidays, summer, sun… like us, you dream of lazing around, reading in a deckchair at the beach, by a swimming pool, a lake or quite simply in your garden. It's the perfect time to read a book! To take full advantage of these special moments, don't forget your reading sunglasses .
In the sun, on the pages of your open book or on your reading light, the sun is reflected. This shiny reflection on white pages causes glare and often leads to tearing. Reading then becomes unpleasant and tiring. For more well-being, you can put on a hat and invest in a pair of sunglasses.
Wearing sunglasses is essential for everyone, wearers or non-wearers of glasses, wearers of contact lenses and whatever your age!
For those under 40 , Varionet offers a wide selection of non-prescription sunglasses fitted with category 3 lenses, polarized or not.
For presbyopia over 40 , Varionet offers reading sunglasses without a prescription . In fact, it is possible as an option to equip all our glasses (except pre-mounted) with decreasing solar lenses in G15 tint (grey-green colour) and of category 3.
These glasses will bring you:
- Safety: your eyes are protected from UV photo-toxicity, the effects of which are harmful to the cornea, the lens and the retina.
- Protection: The ocular appendages are protected; the skin on the eyelids and around the eyes is thin and fragile and is prone to skin cancer .
- Comfort: thanks to category 3 lenses, the glare caused by the sun's rays bouncing off your book is greatly reduced . With degressive sunglasses, you no longer need to move your book away to read and your field of vision is greater in width and depth than with a simple pair of magnifying glasses.
Choosing the right sunglasses for reading:
- Choose your reading glasses as you would choose sunglasses, do not hesitate to take a pair of glasses larger than your white glasses: your eyes and eyelids will be better protected.
- Choose the same correction as your usual non-prescription presbyopia glasses .
- Opt for the Gray/Green G15 Sun Lenses option - Cat. 3 (+10.00€)
Good reading !
Never lose your reading glasses again!
