Aviator sunglasses date back to 1936, when the U.S. Armed Forces, seeking a solution to help fighter pilots deal with eye strain at higher altitudes, teamed up with Bausch and Lomb to produce eyewear that countered light. It featured convex teardrop glass lenses made from G-15 tempered glass, which transmitted 15 percent of incoming light, and thin metal frames. Though originally called ‘Anti-Glares,’ the frames were rebranded ‘RayBan’ upon release to the public. Today, aviators are offered by countless brands. While lenses, details and price points vary widely, they all stem from the same military aesthetic — simple, functional and versatile.
