BUILT FOR COASTAL LIFE

 

Burrard Aviator was created for people who spend real time outdoors — not just in the sun, but in reflective environments where your eyes work harder than you realize.

Whether you’re boating, fishing, driving along the coast, or spending hours outside, your eyes constantly fight scattered light and water glare. Most sunglasses darken your vision.

Burrard is designed to relax it.


Ideal for:

• Boating & sailing

• Fishing & waterfront activities

• Driving & commuting

• Everyday outdoor wear

 

WHY OUR LENSES FEEL DIFFERENT

 

Most eye fatigue outdoors doesn’t come from brightness.

It comes from glare and scattered light.


Water, pavement, clouds, and bright overcast skies reflect light horizontally into your eyes. Your pupils keep adjusting, your eye muscles stay active, and you slowly begin squinting without noticing.

That’s why long outdoor days often end with tired eyes or headaches.

Millar Optics lenses are built to calm your vision.


They filter reflected glare and stabilize contrast so your eyes stop constantly refocusing.


You don’t just see darker —

you see more comfortably.

 

What the lenses do

 

Polarization

Blocks horizontal glare reflected from water, roads, and bright surfaces so you can keep your eyes relaxed.

Full UV Protection

100% UVA & UVB protection to safeguard your eyes from long-term damage.

High-clarity optics

Improves contrast and depth so details appear sharper and more natural.

 

 

WHAT YOU’LL NOTICE IMMEDIATELY

 

Without performance lenses:

• squinting in bright conditions

• washed-out water and scenery

• tired eyes after long outdoor use


With Millar Optics:

• relaxed vision

• deeper colour contrast

• clearer detail on water and terrain

 

Many customers don’t realize how much they were straining their eyes until they wear them for a full day outdoors.

 

ALL-DAY COMFORT FRAME

 

Burrard uses a lightweight performance frame designed for extended wear.

The material flexes slightly to relieve pressure on the temples and nose so the glasses feel stable but never heavy.

You can wear them for hours — boating, driving, walking, or working outside — without constantly adjusting them.


Features:

• lightweight flexible frame

• secure non-slip fit

• balanced weight distribution

 

WILL THEY FIT ME?

 

Fit: Medium–Large Coverage

Burrard works especially well for:

• oval face shapes

• round face shapes

• medium to wider faces


The shape provides strong coverage to block side glare while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.


If the fit isn’t right, simply return them — no hassle.

 

BUILT TO LAST

 

These aren’t delicate fashion sunglasses.

Burrard is designed for real outdoor use.


• Scratch-resistant coated lenses

• Corrosion-resistant hinges

• Protective hard case included

• Designed for saltwater and daily wear


They’re meant to go where you go — boat decks, docks, vehicles, trails, and travel.

 

WHY WE STARTED MILLAR OPTICS

 

Millar Optics began on the Pacific Northwest coast where bright sun isn’t the real problem — glare is.

Even on cloudy days the reflection off water and sky forces your eyes to constantly adjust. After long days outdoors we noticed the same thing: eye fatigue, squinting, and headaches.

We created eyewear focused on visual comfort, not just appearance — sunglasses built for the environments we actually live in.

 


TRY THEM OUTDOORS — RISK FREE

 

Wear them boating.

Wear them driving.

Wear them on a full day outside.


If you don’t genuinely notice a difference within 30 days, send them back.


No restocking fees. No pressure.


Because good eyewear should prove itself in real life, not just in photos.

01 One Frame, Every Day

The Burrard was designed for versatility — the pair you reach for whether you're on the road, on the course, on the water, or simply outside. A classic shape that earns its keep every single day.

02 Designed To Last

Crafted in Italy by artisans with generations of eyewear expertise. The materials, the finish, and the optics are built to hold their quality through years of daily use.

03 Choose Your Colour

Available in multiple frame finishes — from classic black to tortoise and beyond. The same premium optics and lightweight construction across every colour.

Product zoom

Most people don't realise how hard their eyes are working.

Driving into afternoon sun. Walking the back nine under a bright overcast sky. A morning on the water. Each of these environments creates reflected and scattered light that your eyes absorb constantly — adjusting, compensating, straining — without you ever noticing until the headache sets in at the end of the day. The Burrard is built to stop that quietly.

01

Polarized Glare Elimination

Blocks horizontally polarized light reflected from roads, water, wet grass, and bright sky — the specific light that causes most outdoor eye fatigue. The result isn't just darker vision. It's quieter, more relaxed vision across every environment you wear them in.

02

Natural Colour & Contrast

High-clarity optics render colour and depth naturally — the fairway reads sharper, the road ahead looks cleaner, the water is easier on the eye. Nothing looks artificially darkened or colour-shifted.

03

Full Spectrum UV Defence

100% UVA and UVB protection for long days outdoors. Whether you're in direct sun or under cloud cover, UV exposure accumulates — especially around reflective surfaces like water and light-coloured fairways.

What a well-made pair of sunglasses actually changes.
