For 50 years Bolle has been designing and producing some of the best eyewear in the world such as the Bolle Anaconda sunglasses. Bolle sunglasses are used world wide by sportsmen and athletes alike. Or just worn for general use, these sunglasses have a combination of both performance and style.
Sunglasses such as Bolle Anaconda sunglasses are a form of protective eyewear that protect or enclose the pupil of the eye to stop strong light, ultra violet rays and blue light getting to the pupil and causing damage. Direct sunlight can in many cases be too bright for many people and cause discomfort especially whilst pursuing outdoor activities where the eye tends to receive more light than usual. To combat this these days many people use sunglasses.
There is a history to sunglasses and it is believed that Nero the Roman Emperor used emeralds to protect his eyes whilst watching gladiator fights. Whether these were effective or not is questionable as emeralds would work more like mirrors than protective sunglasses. In 12th century China the Chinese used flat panes of smoky quartz to protect their eyes from any sun glare. They did protect the eye but however had no corrective powers. In 1752 James Ayscough was convinced that blue or green tinted lenses could be used in spectacles to aid in the correction of specific impairments in vision. These were not sunglasses and any protection from the rays of the sun was not a concern for him. But here were tinted lenses that were used then and are widely used nowadays. In the 19th and 20th century yellow and brown tinted spectacles were seen in numbers as they were the regular prescription equipment for people who were suffering from syphilis. One of the symptoms of this disease was sensitivity to bright light. And lets not forget about prehistoric times. The Inuit people used walrus ivory which was flattened and had narrow slits for the eye to look out from. These were an attempt to protect the eyes from the harmful reflected rays.
So throughout history there has always been a problem with the harmful rays emitted by the sun and the need to protect the eyes from these. I am just grateful that technology has moved along greatly since the “olden days” and instead of wearing flattened walrus ivory to protect my eyes I can just slip on a pair of advanced bolle anaconda sunglasses.
