BOLLE TECHNOLOGIES

Frames
Hydrated nylon (a Bollé invention) still forms the basis of the Bollé Safety range. It is lightweight and practically unbreakable. However, as technology evolves and improves, so does the selection at Bollé Safety.
The latest technical advance is the use of co-moulded materials. This allows us to use two materials, bonded together to further improve strength, fit and comfort.
We also offer all polycarbonate frames on our high volume lines, providing great strength while not compromising comfort.

Lenses
Polycarbonate Lens. All Bollé Safety spectacles offer maximum protection with the use of polycarbonate lenses. These lenses provide zero distortion optics and 100% UV protection, no matter what shade they are.
Our clear lenses, in particular, offer crystal clear viewing. So clear in fact, that you'll forget that you're wearing them!

Lens Coatings
Advanced Lens Shielding (ALS) offers the best of both worlds by being a combined anti-fog, anti-scratch coating that is used on both sides of the lens (clear, smoke and amber). Its excellent anti-fogging capabilities have been proven in the toughest environments while still maintaining a very high level of scratch resistance.
Cleaning an ALS coated lens is easy. Simply wash with soapy water and rinse clean!
*The use of alcohol based cleaning products/solutions on ALS coated lenses is not recommended as the coating may become damaged and deteriorate over time.

Contrast lens
New Contrast technology. A revolutionary, coated gradient tint lens offering better long term eye comfort!

Improved accuracy
Preserves colour recognition while improving depth perception and contrast
Higher protection
Provides a barrier to impact and light pollution (from sources such as neon and halogen lights and also computer screens)
Less fatigue
Filters more than 30% of blue light, which is a factor in headaches and visual fatigue
Less effort
Eliminates overheating of the cornea, (a source of conjunctivitis) thanks to our unique UV absorbers and flash treatment

Polarisation
What is Polarised light and Glare?
When light reflects off a smooth, reflective surface, it goes through a process called polarisation. The light waves literally 'polarise' on a plane - they all travel in the same direction (parallel). This intensifies the rays, making harmful rays even more harmful.

This process produces disturbing optical 'noise' or simply put, glare. Glare reduces your colour and depth perception and causes eyestrain. Much of the light around us is already polarised. Mirror-like reflections from shiny horizontal surfaces, such as roads, snow, sand and water consist largely of light that has been horizontally polarised in the process of reflection. Polarised lenses, with their transmission axis set vertically, block the horizontally polarised light making up the bright reflections.

How does Polarisation work?
Polarisation filters work like mini Venetian blinds, to cut out the organised light and let the random light through the lens, to eliminate glare and reduce eye fatigue. In simple terms, the polarising filter reduces glare by reducing the volume of waves and limiting disorganised waves from entering the eye. This allows for excellent colour recognition and depth perception but most importantly, significantly reduces eye fatigue.





Bollé polarised lenses
Embedded in the lens, this optically precise polarisation film increases the optical quality of the lens and prevents any distortion and de-lamination problems which are common in many cheaper, polarised lenses.

Bollé Safety now offers injection moulded, polarised lenses in two models:
Hurricane polar (1662215) and Micro polar (1666201).
What's next? Prowler polar! Availability TBA.
