YOU’VE GOT A JOB TO DO AND BOUTON® OPTICAL HELPS YOU DO IT SAFELY
Over 60 years ago, HL Bouton Co. began producing eyewear for American industrial workers with one thing in mind: give workers safety glasses that they want to wear. Now HL Bouton Co. has been reinvented, and Bouton® Optical by PIP has elevated safety eyewear to a whole new level of comfort.
Bouton® Optical produces safety eyewear for industrial workers with one thing in mind...give the workers safety glasses that they want to wear.
RIMLESS DESIGN FEATURES:
Lighter weight provides all day user comfort • Unobstructed peripheral vision for users not accustomed to glasses • Superior wraparound lens design for extensive eye coverage and outstanding side shield protetion • Many styles offered in a variety of Over-the-Glass (OTG) styles to fit comfortably over prescription eyewear
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.
Bouton® Optical safety glasses are available in multiple lens colors. These various lens tints all serve a specific purpose, depending on your task, the lighting conditions, and your work environment.

Bouton® Optical offers nearly 50 distinctive shapes of safety eyewear - and some are even adjustable. Once the type of protection required has been established, we suggest you try on different styles to determine which is best suited for you.
DirectFlex - A special patented temple design will adapts to the vast majority of wearers.
Bullseye - Lightweight rimless design with flexible bayonet style temples provide a secure fit.
