Some styles simply do not go out of fashion. For sunglasses it’s the ubiquitous Aviator sunglasses. Aviators were developed by Bausch & Lomb in the 1930s for American fighter pilots, to help them handle the increased glare from the sun which was making the pilots nauseous.

Why it’s important to take care of your eyes
Your eyes are your windows on the world so it’s important to give them the best care possible. Damage to eyes from UV rays is irreparable and the damage is actually cumulative, which means wearing the right eyeglasses is important for long-term protection - this goes both for sunglasses and prescription glasses. Also, what many people also don’t realise is that children’s eyes are especially vulnerable to UV damage. This means that getting children into the habit of wearing sunglasses from an early age is increasingly important.
