Rays of light actually have an orientation: they can be upright, twisted to one side, etc.
Polarized glasses filter out light oriented at a particular angle, which is the angle that glare from the sun usually reaches you with.
You can tell they’re really polarized because if you take them off your face and rotate them, suddenly the glare will come through again. If you put two of them up and rotate them just right, they’ll block all the light.
