ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT POLAROID LENSES AND WHY YOU NEED ONE
What are Polarizing Lenses?
In sports and other outdoor leisure activities we react to what we see. We see by virtue of the light that enters our eyes. Without good sun wear, brightness and glare will diminish our best efforts.

Most tinted lenses will provide some absorption to dampen brightness, but only a polarized lens can effectively eliminate blinding glare.
What causes glare?
Light is made up of waves travelling in different directions. Vertical light is useful to the human eye; it helps us see. Horizontal light, however, simply creates glare. Glare is...

CHRISTMAS- IN HONOUR OF CHRIST OR A RELIGIOUS JAMBOREE?
Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ as widely acclaimed is one of the most celebrated annual festivals all over the world. Those celebrating Xmas span beyond the border of Christianity. Everybody, both the believers and traditionalist alike and sometimes muslims partake in this felicitation especially in Nigeria.
