Combining these three features addresses some of the most common causes of diminished visual acuity and eye fatigue. Boll\u00e9\u2019s polarization technology \u2013 which dramatically reduces glare – is injected directly into the lenses. While more complicated than simply applying a polarizing film \u2013 as is the case with many other brands \u2013 embedding the technology removes any risk of delamination or decreased performance over time.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 The oleophobic coating \u2013 which also has hydrophobic properties – guards against smudging caused by dirt, grease and water spots.
