Sport Performance Eyewear from Bollé: Now Available at Respectacle
We have enjoyed the warmest May on record – and what a treat the spring sunshine has been! Not only that, but we’ve also had more sunshine this spring than we did all last summer! Although rumour has it the rain will return for the bank holiday weekend – surprise, surprise, some things never change.
Still, the longer days and warmer weather have encouraged people to spend more time outdoors. I’ve noticed a lot more people out and about: running, walking, and cycling, all making the most of the mild weather. My local cycling group is back in action, and running groups are starting to appear again. It’s lovely to see so many people with a spring in their step – pun intended!
Spring is the perfect time of year to be outdoors – to get fresh air into our lungs, stretch our legs and exercise. But it is essential to be well-prepared with the correct equipment. Whether you are into walking, cycling, running, or playing golf, remember to invest in the right clothes and shoes for the environment and the activity. And that includes appropriate eyewear, too. The right eyewear not only protects our eyes from potential hazards, but it also shields them from the elements. UV levels can be high this time of year, so we should all be wearing eyewear to help protect our eyes from these invisible dangers.
Bollé sports sunglasses, now available at Respectacle in Market Harborough
Bollé is a leading brand in the sports and lifestyle eyewear market
I’ve talked about harmful ultraviolet light (UV), how it ages the structure of our eyes and can increase the risk of corneal damage, macular degeneration and accelerate the development of cataracts. So, just as we protect our skin with sunscreen, we should also protect our eyes with the correct eyewear. And that means wearing sunglasses with proper UV protection.
At Respectacle Company, we have shied away from offering a comprehensive collection of sports eyewear in the past because it’s a big range to cover. However, earlier this year, we decided it was time to provide our customers with solutions for all their eyewear needs.
Given that many of our customers enjoy a wide range of sporting activities in their spare time, we needed to take another look at the sports eyewear market and what we could offer. So, after a lot of research, we are very excited to be able to bring Bollé sports sunglasses to our Market Harborough optical store.
Bollé: Leading the Market in Sports and Lifestyle Eyewear Since 1888
I’m sure many of you have heard of Bollé. A French market leader since 1888, the brand is respected worldwide for creative eyewear and advanced design in lens technology, providing exceptional solutions for both sports and lifestyle sunglasses. There are a lot of sports eyewear brands on the market. But what sets Bollé apart from the rest is its revolutionary adaptive lenses, which are available in both plano lenses and prescription versions. Offering a wide range of sports-specific frames and shields, together with prescription possible adaptive lenses is a real game changer.
Bollé offer many different lenses solutions with the majority available in prescription form:
Phantom – an adaptive lens, offering an extraordinary visual experience in all conditions. This lens is the highest performance lens on the market.
Volt+ – a high contrast polarized lens, enhancing colour like no other lens available.
Superior light filter – giving excellent visibility with 100% UV protection.
Lenses are available in different colour filters, depending on the environment they are being used in. Photochromic and polarised lenses are also available alongside non-polarised and clear sport protective options.

There are two sides to the Bollé sunglass collection: lifestyle sunglasses, which are more general activity sunglasses, and the sports performance eyewear designed for individual sports. For example, floating frames like the Airdrift for water sports, the Shifter Shield for cycling, and the Ascender model with side shields for mountain climbing and skiing. All models are available with Bollé high-quality lenses, so all bases are covered.
