Lens Technology

Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating

Scientifically engineered lens coating applied to the back of Bollé lenses eliminates annoying rear glare and ensures crystal-clear optics.

ANSI Standards

All Bollé lenses exceed ANSI (American National Standards Institute) requirements for UV protection, impact resistance and optical clarity.

Carbo Glas Coating

Industrial-strength protective lens coating applied to both sides of the lens provides superior scratch resistance.

Optics Control System

Unique interchangeable lens system lets you select the right lens for any light condition. Available in most Action Sport frames.

Polycarbonate (PC) Lenses

Ultra-lightweight and virtually shatterproof, Bollé's premium-grade plastic resin lens is 20 times more impact resistant than glass and one third the weight.

Polarisation

Embedded into the lens, this optically correct filter enhances visual acuity by eliminating extreme glare and reflections. The polarised filter is mass injected into the glass during production. It increases the optical quality of the lens, prevents any distortion of the polarised filter and enables us to offer decentred lenses for any polarised lens.

P3 Technology

Performance, Polycarbonate, Polarised lenses are the ultimate combination of science and performance.

Sport Optical System

Bollé's patented Rx adapter design allows easy attachment of prescription lenses to our Vigilante and Parole interchangeable lens frames.

UVA/UVB Protection

New Modulator Lenses:

Conditions change. The amazing Modulator lens changes with them. Active Cell Technology works at the molecular level, quickly responding to changing light conditions to give you the best eye protection and performance. Unlike other variable light lenses, instead of being applied as a layer on the lens, Bollé's photochromic technology is embedded into the lens under a highly protective hardcoat to prevent wear.
