3. Sunglasses - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunglasses

   Some models have polarized lenses, made of Polaroid polarized plastic sheeting, to reduce glare caused by light reflected from non-metallic surfaces such as water (see Brewster's angle for how this works) as well as by polarized diffuse sky radiation (skylight). This can be especially useful to see beneath the surface of the water when fishing.

4. Anti-reflective coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coating

   Uncoated glasses lens (top) versus lens with anti-reflective coating. The reflection from the coated lens is tinted because the coating works better at some wavelengths than others. An antireflective , antiglare or anti-reflection ( AR ) coating is a type of optical coating applied to the surface of lenses , other optical elements, and ...

   Nine-blade iris Pentacon 2.8/135 lens with 15-blade iris Aperture mechanism of Canon 50mm f/1.8 II lens, with five blades In the human eye, the iris (light brown) acts as the diaphragm and continuously constricts and dilates its aperture (the pupil) A 750nm titanium-sapphire laser beam passing through an iris diaphragm, while opening and closing the iris.

6. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens

   A corrective lens is a transmissive optical device that is worn on the eye to improve visual perception. The most common use is to treat refractive errors: myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Glasses or "spectacles" are worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye. Contact lenses are worn directly on the surface of the eye.

7. Unpolarized light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unpolarized_light

   At any particular wavelength, partially polarized light can be statistically described as the superposition of a completely unpolarized component and a completely polarized one. [5]: 346–347 [6]: 330 One may then describe the light in terms of the degree of polarization and the parameters of the polarized component. That polarized component ...
