Persol’s polarised lenses are a technologically advanced optical product, built by inserting a very fine film of polarising organic material between two top quality, totally optically neutral crystal lenses that block the rays of reflected light on sand, roads and water for the best possible vision.

Lens:
Crystal lenses are a point of pride for Persol. Representing quality and excellence, most models use lenses made from the most precious optical material of natural origin guaranteeing protection and visual clarity.

Meflecto Stem:
Patented at the end of the 1930s, the Meflecto is the world’s first flexible stem system designed for maximum comfort by eliminating pressure on the head from the arms of glasses.

Quality:
Born out of a rich tradition of research and quality, a history of technological perfection and attention to fine detail, Persol glasses are in a class of their own.

The Arrow:
Persol’s founder Giuseppe Ratti intuitively recognized the need to differentiate and make his products iconic and recognizable.
