A Short History of Sunglasses ..

The origins of sunglasses can be traced back to Roman Emperor Nero who watched the gladiator competitions through polished light emerald green gems held up to his eyes. It is thought that sunglasses were 'invented'somewhere between 1268 and 1289.

Around the twelfth century and before 1430, sunglasses were worn by Judges in the Courts of China. The smoky quartz, flat-glassed panes were not used as protection from the sun. They were used to conceal any expression in their eyes to keep from giving away the outcome of their decisions. Prescription sunglasses were developed in Italy in 1430 and were later used by the Chinese Judges.

Prescription glasses became more common in the 1600’s as people learnt of their benefits. In the mid 18th Century, James Ayscough developed blue and green corrective lenses which began the use of sunglasses for correcting optical impairments.

The development of glasses and sunglasses continued through the years. By the 20th Century, sunglasses were used to protect the eyes from the sun. In 1929 Sam Foster began selling his mass-produced protective sunglasses 'Foster Grants' at Woolworth stores and directy to the public on beaches and seafronts in Atlantic City and New Jersey in the USA. These sunglasses became a fashion item - as well us useful eye protection.

Development continued into the 1930's when Bausch & Lomb to developed sunglasses that would efficiently reduce high-altitude sun glare for pilots. Bausch & Lomb produced sunglasses that had a dark green tint that absorbed light through the yellow spectrum. Then the Polaroid filter was introduced and by 1936 it was being used in the making of sunglasses.

As the wearing of sunglasses became increasingly fashionable and trendy, film stars began wearing sunglasses as a statement and to hide behind. Aviator glasses became popular with the movie stars and the general public in 1937 after Ray Ban developed the anti-glare sunglasses using polarisation.

By the 1970’s Designer labels started adding their name to ranges of sunglasses and the market grew even bigger

Right now, film, music and TV stars are all seen sporting the latest designs. And as global warming becomes a greater threat, and as our health awareness becomes greater, everybody needs to be taking action to protect their eyes from the potentially harmful effects of the Ultra Violet (UV) rays of the sun.
