Ray-Ban Eyeglasses & Frames

Ray-Ban is one of the leading global eyewear brands originally created in the mid-thirties by Bausch & Lomb. First and foremost, the brand is famous for its legendary Wayfarer and Aviator sunglasses. Their prototypes, Anti-Glare sunglasses, were originally created for the U.S. Air Force looking for the shades that would reliably serve aviators during maneuvers in strong light conditions: protect them from the damaging rays of the sun, not fog up at altitude, and look elegant. The first Anti-Glare sunglasses featured plastic frames with green colored lenses which resisted glare and kept the sun out of the eyes.

The pilots instantly took to the glasses and earned them the moniker “Aviator Glasses” or “Aviators” – a term which now describes all shades with similar designs to the original Ray-Ban. By the way, in 1937, the name “Anti-Glare” was changed to “Ray-Ban,” which was actually the first step to the company’s long-term success. In the early forties, one of the company’s developments – a lens with a gradient mirror coating – found application in the market of sunglasses. Large metal glasses with a gradient mirror surface became available in 1948; this technology is still used by Ray-Ban.

Ray-Ban’s Aviators gained broader popularity during the Second World War thanks to General Douglas MacArthur who was photographed in Ray-Ban aviator shades landing on the beach in the Philippines. This style has quickly become part of American fashion and culture. However, Ray-Ban has one more iconic style of glasses first introduced in 1952. Wayfarers – originally hard plastic frames – feature the classic trapezoidal design that we are used to nowadays. Ironically, Wayfarers were intended to be marketed to men only… until women totally fell in love with the sleek design of the frames that seemed to flatter any face shape.

Today, Ray-Ban offers a multitude of timeless silhouettes in rectangular, square, oval, round, and irregular shapes, ranging from classic to vintage-inspired pieces adored by millions of fans all over the globe. Actually, all Ray-Ban frames are made of high-grade materials and amaze with the impeccable feeling of comfort and style. The wide range of Ray-Ban eyeglasses is the result of technology innovation. If you prefer colorful eyeglass frames, opt for Ray-Ban plastic frames. Flexible and lightweight, they offer a variety of color options from transparent brown to pink and Havana.

Ray-Ban’s metal frames are for those who are more into classic eyewear. Metal frames are strong yet light, they are also extremely durable, hypoallergenic, and highly resistant to corrosion. Choose from full-rim, semi-rim, or rimless frames; go with minimalist, classic frames or opt for the ones with a modern clean-cut look.
