Ray Ban Sunglasses

Even in antiquity, the first prototypes of modern sunglasses appeared, which saved the eyes of the then rulers from the sun color and were used by judges to make their eyes impossible to catch. In the 18th century, the first mass production of sunglasses for Napoleon’s army occurred, which was preparing to march into Egypt and needed to protect its eyes from the scorching sun. Until the XIX century, sunglasses were used only in their direct direction, and after that they began to serve as a stylish accessory and shaved, taking into account this or that fashionable trend.

The history of the world famous brand takes place in the 20s of the last century, when the aviation industry reached heights, and the pilots in small planes with open cockpits heaved higher and higher, and their eyes continued to suffer at that moment. At that moment, glasses in the form of a mask for the crew were used, however, they did not provide “breathing” of the eyes and narrowed the mind, which allowed the same pilots to think about the production of something new. Pilot John Makridi at one time contacted the manufacturers of glasses and asked to make a fundamentally light model for pilots, which later became known as the “Aviator” from Ray Ban. In 1937, glasses with yellow and green drop-shaped glasses in a thin metal frame are produced, a year later, new models of "Shooter" and "Tourist" with various forms of frames appear.

By the way, the Ray Ban brand was owned by Bausch & Lomb Inc. From its inception until 1999, when a large company was forced to sell several of its own brand packages, including Ray Ban. Today it belongs to the Italian brand Luxotech.

The global brand for the production of sunglasses Ray Ban is considered to be a veteran in its class, as the company was one of the first to launch the production of stylish accessories using a unique technology at that time using optical glass with reflection of sun glare and cutting off harmful ultraviolet rays. Pilots tried Ray Ban glasses for the first time under the modern name of the Aviators model, and it was they who glorified the sunglasses models and brought them to the masses in the post-war years.
