Bollé was born in the mountains of France in 1888. The brand has been known for innovation and quality for over 135 years. They deliver the best in sports lens technology, along with functional, stylish products perfectly suited for sports enthusiasts. Bolle has two advanced lens technologies available to member practices.  

• Phantom Photochromic Technology – A best in class photochromic lens made from NXT material and outfitted with our PLANTINUM ANTI FOG technology. Photochromic lenses automatically adapts to the lighting available to make sure the wearer always has the perfect level of tint to their lenses. NXT is a super vivid lens, providing much less distortion than polycarbonate without sacrificing impact protection or lightness. PLATINUM Anti-fog treatments are industry leading and ensure the wearer will have clear vision to perform at their best during bad weather or high intensity sports.

• VOLT Color Enhanced Lenses – Developed using AI to create the best visual experience for color enhancement. Reds are redder, Greens are greener, and Blues got Bluer. All while keeping White Balance very neutral, so whites appear natural. These lenses must be tried to get the real effect, which is a visceral visual experience. Depth perception and clarity are increased significantly while also providing next level polarization to cut glare and increase comfort.
• Sport Lifestyle Sunglasses – These are products that perform do equally well while participating in sports as they do in everyday life. Truly do-it-all eyewear that is as technical as it is stylish.

• Prescription Available in Shields – Bolle is one of the few manufacturers that can bring embedded prescription lenses to shields in sports glasses. This gives the optical retailer much better options for sport enthusiasts, instead of using clip-on solutions.
