Safety eye-wear can be something
that we take for granted and sometimes we do so at a huge cost. The quality of
some of the cheap eye-wear currently on the market sometimes leaves a lot to be
desired and could have huge consequences for the wearer if something went
wrong.
We at A.R Brownlow Ltd are
delighted to be an authorised distributor of Bolle Eye-wear; we stock a huge
range of Bolle products at very competitive prices. The peace of mind gained from
buying a product of this quality often comes at a surprisingly cheap price
compared with eye-wear that comes from a questionable origin.
We can also arrange for the spectacles
to match your prescription and carry bifocal spectacles ex stock. Give us a
call for more information today.
