Has anyone found a pair of polarized sunglasses that work with a Carlson Surveyor 2? I wear Costa Seamates for fishing and they are great sunglasses. They have the readers in the bottom of the lenses that are a must for me. But the polarization is oriented 90?ø to the Surveyor 2 screen. So I don??t wear them while working. I am in search of a new pair that will work for surveying without having to turn the DC sideways to read it.?ÿ
Polarized glasses need to be vertically polarized to reduce reflected glare off horizontal surfaces, for driving, fishing, etc. so all properly made ones will have the same effect on the data collector.
Try NuShield DayVue Antireflective Screen Protector. They work well without sunglasses.
I appreciate your input. But explain to me why I can see any other screen with my polarized glasses on except for my Surveyor 2?
obviously something is wrong. I had a rough go of it for about a year with my eyes. Four surgeries later and I can see pretty dang well without glasses except for close reading. I baby my eyes as much as possible now. Nobody seems to want to hire a blind surveyor.?ÿ
so...not a great solution, but if you tilt your head a bit, as to rotate the orientation of the polarization to the screen, you should be able to see the screen display.
Interestingly, there are certain 3D Tv's that use passive polarized sunglasses to only allow you to see half the screen with each eye. Each lens is orientated 90 degrees from the other, and it obscures half the screen. This allows for passive glasses.
Anyway, you have different experiences with different sets of glasses because one of your polarized glasses has the polarization orientated differently, thereby allowing you to see the screen. (Assuming the ones that work with the DC are actually polarized at all as advertised.
Your expensive Costa Seamates are actually polarized and orientated correctly. FWIW, I have had different combinations of DC's and sunglasses react differently based on the orientation.?ÿ

Last century I worked for a little government agency that had some really cool tech.?ÿ We were actually issued those for our work stations.?ÿ I'm sure we paid for the R&D on them.
As for polarized sun glasses, I just gave up and went with non polarized transitioning lenses for my safety glasses and where them in the field.?ÿ As was pointed out earlier, most polarized lenses are oriented in same direction.
I think you may need to perform trial and error analysis.?ÿ I once received two brand new data collectors (Ranger3 I believe)- one I could see, and one I couldn't with Smith Polarized sunglasses.?ÿ I bought new shades.
