Sun Glasses For Beginners by Jack Danger

Sun glasses are one of the coolest fashion accessories known to man. Celebrities have known this for years, its there way of saying, I'm too important and good looking to even make eye contact with a commoner. However for one of us normal people to pull of the sun glasses look without looking like a seventies throw back can be quite difficult.

The original sun glasses were more practical than fashionable, designed to shield ones eyes from direct sunlight. As scientists started to realise the dangers of Ultraviolet radiation, sun glasses became a popular beach accessory. Once the fashion conscious beach crowd started to wear sun glasses regularly, the designer brands got involved. Since the 1950's there has even been pop and rock songs that mention sun glasses. Such as Don Henley's boys of summer.

Its very very easy to look bad in sun glasses, what many people don't realize is the fact that you have to get a pair that matches the shape of your face. If this wasn't the case, I'm positive that everyone would be wearing a pair like Morpheus. Even after all this time, the sun glasses in the Matrix are still cool.

As a general rule of thumb, you are best going for a pair of sun glasses with the opposite shape to your face. For example, if you have a round face, square sun glasses usually work well.

Designer sun glasses

Designer sun glasses are highly sought after which makes fake ones very common. Buying your glasses from a reputable store is usually a must. However, a pair of fake cheap sun glasses can often be a worthwhile purchase, as you won't be too upset if you leave them on a beach or in a bar. I would be quite upset if i left my Oakley's in a pub.

Three classic designer sun glasses to consider when making your purchase are Oakley, Dior and Chanel. These are great designers that have been creating beautiful eye wear for years.

Oakley sun glasses are efficient in combining beautiful design with high-tech materials such as titanium for frames or plutonite for the lenses. Oakley's are a popular choice in the sports world as there lenses are second to non.

Dior sun glasses are popular amongst the fashion world and celebs. Wearing a pair of Christian Dior sunglasses will make you feel a part of the high class fashion world and will also get you noticed, depends on the circles you travel in of course.

Chanel sunglasses provide an elegance that makes any woman wearing them feel full of femininity and grace. Like anything Chanel however, expect to pay top prices.

Remember that popular brand sun glasses are usually expensive so you are best shopping around to get the best deal. Bear in mind that if you see a deal that's too good to be true, nine times out of ten it will be. Nobody likes being ripped off so be careful when making your purchase. Avoid like the plague market stalls when your on holiday.

A good pair of sun glasses will last you forever, and will stay in fashion nearly as long, just look at the classes ray ban wayfairers.

Rayban Wayfarer Sunglasses - Original Polarized and Imitations


Ray Ban sunglasses were founded in 1937 after Lieutenant John MacCready had commented about how the sun had done permanent damage to his eyes after he returned from his balloon flying trip in 1920. Bausch and Lomb had come up with the idea to make protection for a person's eyes after they had been contacted by MacCready. These sunglasses lenses were designed to protect while the frames were designed to be elegant and sophisticated. Ray Ban soon came out with many different collections. Some of these collections are Predator, Undercurrent, Aviator, Wayfarer, Sidestreet, Highstreet, Outsiders, and Orbs.

The Ray Ban Wayfarer, also known as 5022c15, sunglasses were created in 1952. The Wayfarer offered an original look. The frames were no longer metal, but made of plastic. The shape of the sunglasses was like none had ever seen before. These sunglasses had become the next big thing especially after Audrey Hepburn was spotted wearing them in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. The fad had faded, like every fad does, in the 70's. Now that the new millennium is here, history seems to be making a comeback. Many dealers have noticed the sales are starting to pick up again for the Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses. Many dealers have said that the Wayfarer is by far the most popular, original sunglasses to ever be sold.

One of the best things about the Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses is that you can find them with polarized lenses. Polarized lenses reduce the glare on a flat surface. Many fisherman and boaters prefer to use models that are polarized because of this. Polarized sunglasses reduce glare from the road, too, so if you drive a lot you should consider using polarized.

Shopping for sunglasses online can be fun, but yet tricky. You will first want to try them on in person before you make any purchases. A good optical retail store will let you take them outside to give them a real test drive, make sure they are what you want. Once you find the pair that you desire, search online for a cheaper price. Online shopping can be dangerous, so make sure you only shop from a secure site that has a good reputation and has never been reported to the BBB. Also be on the lookout for imitations. You might be interested in purchasing imitations since the price is much cheaper. To the untrained eye, the imitations look exactly like authentic Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses. If you are determined to purchase offical Ray Ban sunglasses, then you will want to do your research to know what to look for in fake ones.

If you are looking for a fashionable pair of sunglasses that will protect your eyes, try the Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses. When you make your purchase and receive your sunglasses, take special care of them. You should always first try to blow any dust and dirt off of the lenses before you touch them. If you need to wet the lenses, use only water. A micro fiber cloth is the only type of cloth that should come in contact with the lenses. This will prevent your lenses from becoming scratched. When you are not wearing your sunglasses, keep them in a hard shell case. If you don't have a hard shell case, a soft case will work until you purchase a hard case. Take care of your glasses and they will make you happy for a long time.

Genuine Ray Ban Sunglasses

Have you ever had problems with your eyesight? I have had a problem with my eyesight ever since I was about 8 years old. I found it hard to read objects from a distance. I would squint and frown. Anyway after wearing eyeglasses for a few years I decided it was time to try out some contact lenses. I went to the iCare specialist and made an appointment.

The first thing I noticed while in the reception area was the vast array of designer sunglasses. They had Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses with polarized lens and RayBan sidestreet sunglasses. Taking a closer look at the prices I noticed that they were in the three hundred dollar plus range. Why was this so unusual? Well, after dealing in designer sunglasses for a period of time you get an idea of pricing and quality, including an idea of what looks authentic and what is genuine.

So I knew that these sunglasses probably have a markup of anywhere between 100% and 300%. What surprised me more was that this iCare specialist was located in a small country town of about 5,000. Obviously there was a market for these type of sunglasses and frames and that people were willing to pay the prices asked for.

After having my eyes examined and finding out that they were still the same when I last visited about 3 years ago, I was ready to get my contact lenses. Unfortunately, I cant get Ray Ban contact lenses, or not yet anyway. Another question comes to my mind, which you may have asked. How can you tell if they are genuine? It's a lot of money to spend if you are only getting copies. Especially if you have spent a while saving for Ray Ban wayfarer sunglasses with polarized lens.

The best way to determine genuine RayBan sunglasses is to go to a reputable retail outlet and get them to show you some Ray Ban sunglasses. Hold them and get a feel for the type of materials used. Look at markings, logos and where they are positioned.
Try them on and see how they look when viewing objects and people. This is invaluable advice for determining the real thing.

Now when you find outlets or websites selling cheaper models, find out if you can get a money back guarantee. When you purchase the RayBan sunglasses you will be able to determine if they are genuine or fake and return them later if you find them to be fake.

To cut a long story short I finally got my contact lenses and found them incredibly difficult to put in and take out. I may go back to spectacles.

Aviator Sunglasses - The Most Popular Sunglass Style of the 20thCentury




The very first pair of aviator sunglasses was designed in 1936 and released by Ray Ban in 1937. They were designed specifically for pilots who generally needed high quality, anti-glare sunglasses. Originally, the design was primarily for protection against the glare from the sun while flying, but this sunglass style quickly became popular with average individuals and millions of consumers.

The 70s brought a whirlwind of popularity to the aviator sunglass market. Hit television shows featuring these trendy sunglasses (like Happy Days) were just some of the reasons why the aviator style picked up so quickly. During the first part of the 80s aviator sunglasses were still popular but were not as popular as the previous decade. It wasn't until the movie Top Gun was released in 1986 featuring Tom Cruise that the popularity of aviator sunglasses began to rise again. It was at this time that the aviator style of sunglasses became the most popular design in the fashion industry.

Since then, aviator sunglasses have continued their rise in popularity and are currently at the highest point of popularity in the history of aviator sunglasses. Thousands of sunglass companies have created their own aviator designs in a wide variety of shapes and colors. This world famous sunglass style is currently the number one style of sunglasses among celebrities.
Celebrity Supporters

Some of today's hottest celebrities have been seen sporting the sleek design of aviator sunglasses.

The always stylish Victoria Beckham and her undeniably hot husband, David Beckham (shown below) are avid supporters of aviator sunglasses and have been seen modeling this style on a number of occasions.

Fashion icon, Jessica Simpson (shown below) also enjoys the sporty-casual look of aviator sunglasses which are known to compliment her sultry style.

The History of Sunglasses


The use of a tint held up in front of the eyes to reduce the sun's glare can be traced back to ancient Rome. Since those early days we can follow the development of sunglasses through the centuries as they were modified and improved, arriving at the modern designer sunglasses that we know today. Sunglasses are now used not only to shield our eyes from the sun but also as an important fashion accessory.

The history of sunglasses can be traced back to ancient Rome around the year AD 60, where the Emperor Nero is said to have watched gladiator fights whilst holding up polished emerald-green gems to his eyes, thus reducing the effect of the sun's glare. The very first actual recorded evidence of the use of sunglasses can be found from a painting by Tommaso da Modena in Italy, 1352, showing a person wearing sunglasses.

Earlier, around the twelfth century in China, sunglasses were worn by court judges, not to protect their eyes from the sun, but in order to conceal any expressions in their eyes as it was important to keep their thoughts and opinions secret until the end of each trial. These were flat panes of quartz that had been polished smooth and then smoked to give their tint.

It was not until 1430 that prescription glasses were first developed in Italy to correct vision, and these early rudimentary spectacles soon found their way to China, where they were again tinted by smoke to be used by the judges. The frames were carved out of either ivory or tortoiseshell, and some were quite ornate. During the 17th century prescription glasses were being used in England to help elderly presbyopic people to see better. The Spectacle Makers Company was founded in England who started manufacturing prescription glasses for the public, whose motto was "A Blessing to the Aged".

The development of sunglasses, however, remained static until the work of James Ayscough, who was known for his work on microscopes in London around 1750. He experimented with blue and green tinted lenses, believing they could help with certain vision problems. These were not sunglasses, however, as he was not concerned with protecting the eyes from the sun's rays.

Prescription spectacles continued to be developed over the next few decades, especially regarding the design of the spectacle frames and how to get them to sit comfortably on the nose. The frames were made from leather, bone, ivory, tortoiseshell and metal, and were simply propped or balanced on the nose. The early arms or sidepieces of the frames first appeared as strips of ribbon that looped around the backs of the ears. Rather than loops, the Chinese added ceramic weights to the ends of the ribbons which dangled down behind the tops of the ears. Solid sidepieces finally arrived in 1730, invented by Edward Scarlett. Later on, lens technology made a great leap forward when Benjamin Franklin famously invented the first bifocal lens in 1780, called the "Franklin split" bifocal, enabling presbyopic patients to read and also see in the distance without the need for separate distance and reading glasses.

Sunglasses, as we know them today, were first introduced by Sam Foster in America, 1929.These were the first sunglasses designed specifically to protect people's eyes from the harmful sun's rays. He founded the Foster Grant Company, and sold the first pair of Foster Grant sunglasses on the boardwalk by the beaches in Atlantic City, New Jersey. These were the first mass-produced sunglasses, and from this year onwards, sunglasses really began to take off. When I say "take off", I mean that quite literally, because in the 1930's, the Army Air Corps asked a company Bausch & Lomb (who still exist today) to produce a spectacle tint that would efficiently reduce high altitude sun glare for pilots. They developed a dark green tint that absorbed light in the yellow band of the visible spectrum.

In 1936, Edwin H Land patented the Polaroid filter for making polarized sunglasses. This type of tint reduces glare reflected from surfaces, such as water. Later in that same year, Ray Ban took the design of pilots sunglasses further by producing the aviator-style sunglasses that we know today, using this recently invented polarized lens technology. The edge of the frame characteristically drooped away at the edges by the cheeks in a sort of tear drop shape, to give a full all-round protection to the pilots eyes, who regularly had to glance down towards the aircraft's instrument panel. The polarized lens reduced the glare from light reflected off the instrument panel. Pilots were given these sunglasses free of charge, but in 1937 the general public were allowed to purchase this aviator-style model that "banned" the sun's rays as Ray Ban sunglasses.

In 1960, Foster grant started a big advertising campaign to promote sunglasses, and pretty soon famous film stars and pop stars started wearing sunglasses as part of their image. The public began to adopt this new fashion of wearing sunglasses, not just to protect their eyes from bright light, but also as a way of looking good. Today, sunglasses are continuing to be improved with efficient UV blocking tints, cutting out all the harmful ultra-violet light. Various coloured tints are now available and, of course, the frame styles are very varied and exciting. Now you can really make a statement with your fashion sunglasses, transforming your image or creating a new look. Designer sunglasses have certainly come a long way in just a few years, and now not only protect our eyes from the harmful sun's rays, but are also an important fashion accessory - and it all started nearly 2,000 years ago with the Roman Emperor Nero!

The History of Ray Ban Sunglasses and Eye Protection

If you have ever seen Tom Cruise in "Risky Business", you will remember two things. The first being the most famous scene from that movie, the one where he comes sliding into the living room dancing in his underwear, and the second, how good he looked in those sunglasses. Cruise sported Ray Ban sunglasses in this movie and they became as big a hit as the movie itself. By the time this movie was made in 1983 however, Ray Ban had already been making popular sunglasses for 46 years.

The optical firm Bausch and Lomb launched the first Ray Ban sunglasses in 1936, which were anti-glare aviator sunglasses. They were the first to use polarized technology, which was developed by Edwin H. Land, the founder of the Polaroid Corporation. These dark glasses had large lenses, about two or three times the size of the eye socket, in the shape of an oblique teardrop. Instead of being flat, these glasses were slightly convex. The goal of these large, curved glasses was to protect the eyes from every angle for optimal protection from the sun. In the 1940's, Ray Ban was hired by the US Air Force to develop these glasses even further for use by air force pilots. The Aviator glasses soon became popular with the other branches of the US military as well and when General Douglas MacArthur was photographed landing on a beach in the Philippines during World War II, he was wearing a pair of Ray Bans.

Ray Ban has relied on photographs of celebrities to promote their eyewear throughout the years. The Blues Brothers, Miami Vice's Don Johnson, Michael Jackson, and Madonna are just a few of the people who join Tom Cruise as Ray Ban wearers and promoters. Ray Ban Aviators have remained in style for decades but this company also moved with the times in terms of its other models. There were bright, colorful frames to reflect the style of the 60's, big flashy shades in the 70's, and sportier designs of the 80's.

From the beginning, Ray Ban sunglasses have been at the forefront of eye protection technology. These glasses stay in style not only because of their celebrity appeal but also because they are well made and practical.
