RayBan sunglasses - Model#RB4378 6477/11 54/16 145

 

Ray-Ban is a brand of luxury sunglasses and eyeglasses created in 1936 by Bausch & Lomb.    Known as the brand that launched the safety off eyewear for aviators by preventing goggles fogging up thereby greatly reducing visibility at high altitude. The prototype, created in 1936 and known as "Anti-Glare", had plastic frames and green lenses that could cut out the glare without obscuring vision. The name "Ray-Ban" was hence derived from the ability of these glasses to limit the ingress of either ultra-violet or infra-red rays of light.  Impact-resistant lenses were added in 1938. The sunglasses were redesigned with a metal frame the following year and patented as the Ray-Ban Aviator.  According to the BBC, the glasses used "Kalichrome lenses designed to sharpen details and minimise haze by filtering out blue light, making them ideal for misty conditions."
