Ray-Ban Sunglasses - Frequently Asked Questions
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. Thus, in 1936 the iconic aviator sunglasses were born. This prototype was where the name Ray-Ban comes from as well.
Ray-Ban aviator is also distinct because of the iconic Ray-Ban logo on the right lens. Because Ray-Ban is a luxury brand, people want to flaunt this logo when they have invested in a pair of Ray-Bans.
Apart from the logo, another feature that marks Ray-Ban aviators iconic is its use of high-quality materials. The high-quality materials coupled with the aviator style can make a Ray-Ban recognizable to anyone who has an eye for luxury goods.
The Ray-Ban aviator complements the oval face shape. The aviator adds depth and contouring to an oval face due to their tear drop silhouette. Thin gold or silver metal frames in particular, add to the delicate softness of oval face shapes.
However, the style also complements square-shaped faces. The rounded tear-drop shape adds softness to a square shape. It is because of the aviators’ suitability to different face shapes that made it so popular in the first place.
Ray-Ban aviators are available for prescription lenses and polarised lenses. To choose polarised lenses, first click ‘Buy with Prescription” on the product page. Then add your prescription number. If you don’t have a prescription number, you can choose non-prescription at this point. In the next steps, you can choose from a range of coatings including anti-glare and scratch-resistant coatings. However, you can also choose a lens package that comes with the UV 400 coating.
Another high-value lens package comes with a super hydrophobic coating that keeps lenses protected from water. The lens index and thickness vary through the packages. The lens index ranges from 1.5 to 1.67. In the next step, you can choose an add-on including tints and Transitions. Here, you can choose polarised lenses for your Ray-Ban aviators.
