Polarised Lenses

Polarised sunglass lenses block out a lot of scattered and reflected light (glare). For example, if you look at water in a pool with a standard lens, it is difficult to see an object under water clearly. This is due to the fact that the surface of the water is reflecting light from all different directions. Bolle polarised lenses filter those reflected rays so you can see below the surface of the water much more clearly.

Bolle polarised Lenses are manufactured using a special material designed to block out glare and only transmit useful light to your eyes. This optically engineered polarising material is a very thin membrane sandwiched between two pieces of optically ground lens material to filter out 99 percent of all reflected light for maximum eye protection.

However, there are some limitations to the use of polarised lenses, some drivers discover that polarised lenses can cause distortions in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Onboard clocks and other instrument displays may be temporarily unreadable.

Advantages: fantastic for all water sports, especially fishing, where the polarising filter allows vision through the surface reflective glare.
