Bolle sunglasses are designed for sport and everything life can throw at them. Dame Ellen Macarthur chose Bollé for her record breaking round the world solo voyage, Sergio Garcia wears Bollé on the PGA tour and as a winning Ryder Cup team member while top athletes from cycling, skiing and motorsport rely on Bollé for peak performance. I've personally supplied Bollé goggles and sunglasses for expeditions to both poles and across the Greenland icecap. Slightly more extreme conditions than you're likely to encounter here or on holiday. What makes Bollé so good? Mainly it's their lens technology. The Bollé TNS filter tint blocks out 100% UV and 88% of visible light evenly from across the spectrum resulting in the most perfectly neutral, accurate colour representation you'll find. Because everything looks so natural, just with the brightness turned down - a lot - it's really easy on your eyes leaving you to concentrate on the task at hand. Durability and protection are built in by the development of a remarkably tough yet lightweight optical plastic which is then coated with super scratch resistant Carbo Glas. On both surfaces. Until recently this technology couldn't be made in prescription powered lenses as the sophisticated curves needed for the sporty wrapped frames caused many problems. New advances in computer controlled lens manufacture now make genuine Bollé sunglasses available in most prescriptions. Bollé TNS lenses complete in any Bollé fully rimmed Hydrated Nylon frame (that's the plastic ones to you and me) made to your prescription are £215. Metal frames and extras such as mirrored finishes cost a little more Bollé prescription sunglasses are at the leading edge of curved lens and protective filter technology so delivery times can be up to four weeks, so plan well in advance if you fancy these for your summer holiday. Call in to see the full range and discuss your individual needs. |

The 2008 OceanBlue prescription Sunglasses collection is stunning. Sixteen frame styles in all, but I predict that the most sought after will be the over-sized acetates (acetate is the most luxurious plastic for spectacle frames) with thick, bold, patterned sides. As you can see from these shots there is no design compromise - these prescription sunglasses are catwalk cool. OceanBlue are fantastic value for money at £99 complete for frame, prescription lenses, tint of your choice, UV block and a clever little drawstring carrying pouch which is also their cleaner. Bifocal and Varifocal options are both £139, all in.
The lenses in OceanBlue are without compromise too, meeting and exceeding all the relevant British and European standards for both sun protection and optical accuracy. With fashion coloured tints and options ideal for the beach, city sightseeing and driving there is almost too much choice. |
The price may be low yet OceanBlues deliver on quality. You'll love the comfort of the plastic frames with ergonomic bridges designed to saddle your nose while the thick sides gently hug your temples. The metals collection offers a more classic, conservative look with adjustable nose pads. One model even features “flexi-fit”, sprung titanium bridge and sides for comfort and durability. Ideal for men who take their sunspecs on and off a lot.
