Hey folks, just had a question to toss out there. We do quite a lot of rx suns in our office, and with that, a lot of polarized lenses. We've had a few people come back complaining about seeing distortion out of them recently. Generally their complaint is the standard "I see checkerboards on the back windshields of cars." which I believe has something to do with the tempered glass, but the complains have been more than just that. I had a guy come in and buy a pair of non-rx versace polarized suns, jumped back into his new BMW, then run right back in to complain that he couldn't see any of his dashboard... I've had two in the last month alone that had to be changed from polarized to just a standard tint because they were noticing that pattern on their own windshields... Unfortunately it seems like a bit of a sign of the times that the more LCD screens we encounter in the course of our day, the more issues we're going to have with polarized lenses, but my concern is that my lab also might be using a sub-standard polarized filter when making our sunglasses. I know even really good lenses like Maui Jim even have this issue, but is it possible that a lower quality polarization filter could show those patterns even more? Thoughts?
