Advanced Lens Technologies

Bouton® Optical offers you the right lenses for your working environment. As a basic, we start with Anti-Scratch and Anti-Fog which is standard on many of our glasses. We offer special treatments to extend the life of your eyewear while helping you see better by filtering light and reducing glare.

Anti-Reflective
Reduce Reflection and Glare

Anti-Reflective (AR) lens coating will improve visual acuity in any application by reducing reflections and improving visible light transmission.
Indoor/Outdoor Blue
Alleviate Digital Eye Strain

Indoor/Outdoor Blue Lens is a proprietary engineered lens that combines a slight yellow tint and a mirror coating, working in tandem to alleviate and help to prevent digital eye strain.
Polarized
Enhance Vision Outdoors

A polarized lens that reduces glare in bright outdoor environments involving water, sand, rocks and concrete.
Gradient
Reduce Overhead Light Glare

Gradient tint lenses have a slight mirror coating on the top portion of the clear lens. This tint reduces glare from high-powered overhead fluorescent and mercury lighting helping to minimize squinting eye strain.
Mirror Plus
Protect from Bright Sunlight

Mirror coated lenses with Anti-Reflective (AR) coating on the inside will protect against bright sunlight and provide clearer vision through the lens when compared to a standard shaded lens.

Lens Coatings

Bouton® Optical lens coating options have a major impact on the effectiveness of the safety eyewear in the workplace. Choosing the right coatings can not only help keep your eyes safe, but can also translate into increased productivity.

Hardcoat treatment that toughens lens surface for a longer product life with fewer scratches.
Anti-Fog (AF)
Surface coating that reduces fogging, maintaining clear vision. Ideal for food plants or cleaning operations with high-humidity environments
Indoor/Outdoor
Light mirror coating on clear lens, giving enough light transmission to work indoors while reducing pupil adjustment time
Mirror
Front surface coating reflects light from lens, great for bright environments in snow, sand and water
