So here’s a bit of vulgarisation.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Light can oscillate in waveforms that vibrate at one or more angles. It can wave vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. The giant source of light we call the sun, emits waves in all directions. When this light hits a flat surface, such as the ground, a puddle of water, or the roof of a car, the reflected waves tend to move in the same horizontal direction.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>And that’s when pola lenses come into play.\u003Cbr />\nIn addition to blocking harmful UV rays and tinting your vision like normal sunglasses, polarised lenses act as a filter that only fully lets in vertical light rays. They gradually tone down and neutralise the remaining waveforms as they become more horizontal, thus completely canceling out harsh horizontal reflections.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>On large bodies of water, ski slopes, or roads, for example, the strong beams of light that blind us will be neutralized, making the surface easier to see (and even see through, for our fishermen out there). This reduction of glare can allow the captain of a 10-hour road trip to see significantly more comfortably on a wet highway. It also provides better contrast and colour, which is why it’s ideal for outdoor sports.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Overall, polarised lenses are a great tool for lots of people. If you’re particularly sensitive to light, it might also be for you. They’re not the be-all end-all for average day-to-day sunnies, but we have to say, once you go there you’re kind of never going back.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>And if you notice that your old LCD screens or tempered glass windows go a little funky with your pola lenses on, it’s because of polarisers overlapping and erm… look it up.

It’s the type of light that makes us squint when we turn on the light in a very dark room for example.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The most harmful UV rays are the ones we can’t see, as they are below 400 nanometers. UVB light lurks at around 280–320 nm and can give us nasty, peeling sunburns at best and skin and eyelid cancer at worst. UVA light, which ranges from 320 to 400 nm, can pass through our retinas and cause serious vision damage, such as cataract development and deteriorating eyesight. This is no joke, which is why we play it extra safe by switching out all pre-existing lenses for new UV400 lenses. These lenses offer the highest protection there is available (higher than the established standard by the EU). They block out 99-100% of those ultraviolet rays standing below 400nm, both on our frames and the ones you bring us to restore.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, UV protection works independently from the colour of the lens and will always be UV400 no matter the shade or density. There’s different categories of darkness going from 0 to 4 to provide comfortable vision depending on brightness passing through (cat. 0 for 0-20% ; cat. 4 for 90-97%), the darkest are mainly used for exceptionally bright environments (mountaineering, sailing etc.).\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>This means that even on the brightest of days, you can safely wear a set of cat.1 pale pink lenses, although you might be more comfortable wearing the standard and most used cat.3 lens.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Same goes for your opticals, at BIDULES they’re fully translucent but they all come with the same UV400 protection.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>This way, rain or shine, those harmful rays are out of sight!\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>What about photochromic lenses?

The torn-up newspaper pages they were wrapped in indicate that they could have been stored for the last time somewhere after 1965, in the region of Oyonnax (FR). The temples are from another deadstock to complete the frame. This lead to months and months of research, experimentations and puzzles, to match the fronts to some 70's temples by hand-reshaping both pieces and connecting them with some good old repairable rivet-hinges.

So when we got back to the store with a bunch of late 1990s drilled frames, it was only because we already knew they could withstand experimentation. In our workshop a few weeks later, they led to a lighter series, mixing shapes and sizes from different eras. The frame you see here takes its lines from a Fidela Trix.
