Polaroid: Expert in Polarised Lens Technology

The 2008 Polaroid® Sunglasses Collection is a heavenly match of style and science reflecting the techno-chic fashion trends of the new season.

This new collection offers a host of styles with something for everyone. Whatever your choice, your Polaroid sunglasses are a must-have accessory for 2008.

Eye candy! - Collection highlights

For 2008, Polaroid has created a range of sunglasses with their broadest ever eye-appeal for men, women, children and fashion-savvy youth. The season's colour palette ranges from ebony and crystal to gold and gun metal with a flourish of vibrant reds, purples and violets. Metal aviator styles retain their appeal but both women and men get more daring in their choice of decorated synthetic frames.

"Contemporary designs, superior performance and affordable choices - that's what our new 2008 Polaroid Sunglass Collection represents, " declared Beat Christ, Senior Design Manager of Polaroid Eyewear. "We have unified technical excellence with organic design to create a unique offering for discerning consumers."

Bejewelled and Bewitching

High gloss frames, big shapes, bejewelled and decorated styles - there is nothing modest about the Polaroid collection of frames designed for the discerning woman. Temples reveal a diversity of designs from ingenious ornamental graphics and sparkling rhinestones to decorative filigree and smooth metal love hearts. Cleverly, there are no spring hinges to avoid snagging long flowing hair. Stylish frame design belies the clever ergonomic fit that makes these Polaroid sunglasses perfectly comfortable all day long.

Even more Glamorous

If you want to look even more glamorous or simply extra gorgeous for 2008, try Polaroid's ingenious bi-coloured frames. Show the world skin-toning browns, golds and blacks on the outside, while the inside the frame puts you in the pink or orange or green! The glamorous, Italianate styling with exuberant arm decoration is daring and dramatic. To wear these luxurious sunglasses is to feel as beautiful as you look.

Press polishing technology
Uniquely in this sector, Polaroid Eyewear produces polarised lenses using our own innovation— the PTX4000 lens. Produced with our exclusive press-polishing forming technology, it has made us one of the market leaders in the polarised lens industry.

Traditional manufacturers use vacuum forming to curve their lenses. This technique results in lenses which warp the wearer's perception of sizes shapes and distances, which can lead to eye strain.

The press-polishing forming process ensures each lens is optically 'fine-tuned' while it is curved, creating lenses which are optically correct. Polaroid polarised sunglasses don't just meet international standards, they exceed them.

Polaroid is the only company with the required levels of advanced optical engineering expertise, to employ lens press polishing technology.

Something Stronger

Dark metal frames, classic aviator styling, it's all there for the strong, brooding look for men with attitude in the 2008 collection. Bigger, bolder, with a touch of Bauhaus - these frames boast a fusion of materials, face-hugging masks and cut-out arms. Tough yet tactile, lightweight, composite materials are crafted into anatomic face shapes, with strong broad arms and wraparound lenses -so comfortable you will forget you have them on.

Performance with Passion

For the one they all want, the pinnacle in understated cool - Polaroid has created some special high performance styles for 2008. Superb Polaroid polarised lenses provide perfect optical clarity, even in wraparounds, matched with high fashion yet subtle frame designs. Sleek, super thin metal frames and arms or face-hugging dual-toned and patterned wraparounds - these ones have it all, the ultimate performance sunglasses.

Polarisation
Daylight travels in waves oscillating in all directions of three-dimensional space. Polarized light also travels, but mostly moves in two dimensions: horizontally and vertically. Vertical light brings useful information to the human eye, enabling us to see colours and contrasts, while horizontal light simply creates optical noise or glare. Where light strikes a non-metallic surface such as water it often reflects primarily in a horizontal plane. This creates a high concentration of glare which can be selectively blocked only by a good quality polarizing filter. Polarizing lenses selectively filter out the horizontal light, thus eliminating glare. Wearing Polaroid sunglasses means:

  • Glare-free vision
  • Clear contrasts
  • Natural colours
  • Reduced eye fatigue
  • 100 percent UV protection

For All


100% UV Protection

Girls get more assertive and boys more intuitive, leading to interchangeable urban styling. Friends will love to buy, swap and share unisex frog-eyed frames, tortoiseshell eyebands and masks rimmed with fused triacetate and metal - it's so hot it's cool.

Perfect Vision

While conventional sunglasses just make the view darker, Polaroid sunglasses with their unique PTX4000 polarised lenses, block out harmful glare and provide 100 percent UV protection. They offer the highest level of protection for your eyes and clarity of vision. So, not only are these sunglasses you will want to be seen in, they will help you see perfectly too.

With great new Polaroid Polarised Sunglasses Collection consumers have a real choice when it comes to sunglasses - full-on fashion without compromising on lens performance and sun protection, all at an attainable price.
