The Development Of Rayban Sunglasses

Bausch & Lomb Inc

Bausch & Lomb Inc. was established by two German Americans named John Jacob Bausch and Henry Lomb in 1853 which did some business on eye care. As for the profession on optical lenses, it had received great success during the twentieth century.

In 1920, Bausch & Lomb Inc. was commissioned by United States Army Air Corps to create some type of goggles, which would prevent the superb protection from harmful rays of the sun, but also look elegant.

In 1937, the company introduced the prototype of required sunglasses, which consisted of an extremely light frame weighing 150 grams. They were made of gold-plated metal with two green lenses made of mineral glass to filter out infrared and ultraviolet rays. Pilots in the United States Army Air Corps immediately adopted the sunglasses design. So Bausch & Lomb Inc named this type of sunglasses as RayBan sunglasses. Ray means the dazzling light from the sun, while ban means prevention. The combination Rayban, of course, means to prevent the light from making permanent damage to the eyes. From then on, Rayban was first introduced to the market as a new brand.

Rayban sunglasses were the designated sunglasses for army and air use at that time. During the world war , when General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beach in the Philippines wearing a pair of stylish Rayban sunglasses, the brand Rayban became world well known. Just as the ZIPPO lighter, Rayban sunglasses are the symbol of US army for experiencing the world war , and quickly the Rayban fashion trend spread all over the world.

In the 1950s, Rayban introduced the color lenses and big frames sunglasses, together with the women sunglasses, which transformed the sunglasses from a fashion decoration to a daily life must.

Meanwhile Rayban Sunglasses have made lots of appearances in Hollywood films, and the Hollywood stars are the most efficient promoters of sunglasses. Tom Cruise is a greatest contribution to world famous of the Rayban sunglasses, due to the classic Aviator Rayban sunglasses appearance in the 1986 blockbuster movie Top Gun.

Rayban was sold to Luxottica in 1999, but it has not changed the spirit of the brand, that is the forever pursuit of high quality, superior lenses, and stylish frames to the Rayban sunglasses.
