The Ray Ban Company started back in 1937 by Bausch and Lomb. They were made with the US Air Force in mind. The pilots claimed that the sun not only damaged their eyes but the glare hindered theory ability to fly. Ray Ban answered the call and made their famous Aviator glasses. In 1999 the company was sold for 1.2 Billion dollars.
You can get more than just their famous Aviator glasses. Over the years Ray-Ban has come out with different models. They have also revamped the traditional sunglasses.
