Ray-Ban is one of the most popular brands in the eyewear market. Ray-Bans are considered premium because of their use of high-quality materials, timeless designs, and impeccable craftsmanship. Ray-Ban also invests in product development, technology, and research, all of which contribute to the quality of Ray-Ban and of course, its price tag.
The history of Ray-Ban dates back to 1929 when a US Army Air Corps Colonel partnered with Ray-Ban’s founders, Bausch & Lomb to create anti-glare lenses for pilots. This prototype was created to improve the pilot’s visibility at high altitudes. Back then, the founder was then operating a medical equipment manufacturing facility. This prototype was completed in 1936 and was called Ray-Ban for its UV light and infrared light-blocking abilities.
Although the anti-glare lenses were where the Ray-Ban name originates, Ray-Ban is known for its metal-framed, aviator-style sunglasses. These frames were patented by Ray-Ban as the Ray-Ban Aviator in 1937. The patent expired in 14 years, but Ray-Ban is still most popular for its aviator-style sunglasses.
You can select the classic aviator and wayfarer styles from Ray-Ban’s collection if you want your glasses to serve a dual purpose. With transition lenses fitted to your Ray-Bans, you can effortlessly transition from work mode to a stylish outdoor look. The transition lenses on your Ray-Bans will darken just as you step out into the sun. With Ray-Ban’s stylish designs, no one will be able to tell that your “sunglasses” also turn into regular glasses when you step indoors.
