UV protection
General-purpose sun lens with high sunglare reduction. Too dark for driving at night or in poor light. The retailer labels this ‘UV Protection: Category 3’; PowderedPurple has not measured the lens.
Before you wear them
- Never look directly at the sun through any sunglasses, including during an eclipse.
- These are fashion sunglasses, not safety or sports eyewear, and are not impact-rated protection.
- See an optometrist if you need prescription lenses or have an eye condition.

PowderedPurple assessment
This profile is compiled from what SmartBuyGlasses South Africa publishes for the Boss Boss 1317/S, and from nothing else. The listing gives the lens, bridge and temple measurements, the overall frame width, the lens height, a barcode, the lens filter category, which prescription lenses it takes and the base curve. The 55-18-145 figures are the ones to measure a frame you already wear against, because they describe the frame rather than the face. Nobody at PowderedPurple has worn or handled this frame, so there is no view here on how it sits, how heavy it feels or how it wears over time. Where the retailer states something, it is quoted as the retailer's statement.
