Rayban – Designed for Life

Raybans are the iconic sunglasses that never date, thanks to their timeless appeal.

If you need glasses there’s no excuse for compromising when it comes to buying shades. With Rayban prescription glasses, you can tap into an iconic style and join a long list of high profile, celebrity fans.

Rayban – Flying High

There’s a reason why Rayban is a global giant in the fashion market. The brand has unbeatable pedigree thanks to its early beginnings in the 1930s. First designed for American pilots, Rayban as a label became associated with effortless cool. They crossed over from the military into a civilian, but definitely not pedestrian, role as the sunglasses became the must-have accessory for the likes of James Dean, Bob Dylan and John F Kennedy.

America’s Most Wanted

At one point, Rayban prescription glasses simply didn’t exist. But today, advances in technology means even if you need prescription glasses you can still get the ultra cool look. Rayban prescription glasses come in all the classic Rayban styles, including Aviator and Wayfarer. It seems Raybans are the sunglasses that don’t have to try too hard. Their kudos comes from the fact they have been worn by every significant icon in popular culture making them by default, iconic. From Presidents to movie stars, Raybans are America’s most wanted in the style stakes.

Retro Appeal

There’s no doubt that the appeal of Rayban is like that of any classic luxury brand – from Chanel to Prada – the name itself is synonymous with luxury, class and style. And as more celebrities are snapped wearing the classic shades, from Sienna Miller to Tom Cruise, the more in demand the brand becomes. As history has shown since the glasses first appeared in the thirties, the Rayban brand is one that’s here to stay, whether it’s embracing one of their modern, current frames or opting for the classic Wayfarer or Aviator frames for their retro appeal.
In many ways, Rayban is the founding name of designer sunglasses as we know them today. They began their descent into history in a specialist eyewear company established by two German immigrants in New York, which designed camera lenses and binoculars. The company designed the first sunglasses when the army approached them asking for eyeglasses that would not just protect them from the sun, but would look good too. The rest, as they say, is history.

A little more about Ray Ban 

Founded in 1937 Ray-Ban is one of the major leading suppliers of sunglasses and prescription glasses. Originally introduced for the United States Army Air Corps after a Lieutenant John MacCready returned from a balloon flying adventure, he complained that the sun's rays had permanently damaged his eyes. Bausch and Lomb were initiated to manufacture sunglasses that provided the best protection possible but also looked great. Hence the start of a phenomenon that were Ray-Ban sunglasses.

From film stars to rock bands, Ray-Bans can be found globally. Even US president Barack Obama wears them. As of late the original avaiators and wayfarers have made a massive comeback in more vibrant frame and lens colours to be iconic in the fashion world. 

In July 2004 Ray-Ban made the partnership with the Formula 1 racing team Honda. Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello and Anthony Davidson had the Ray-Ban logo on their helmets as well as being on the cockpit sides of the Honda formula one cars. 2009 saw Ray-Ban continue their sponsorship of the Brawn GP following Honda's exit from Formula 1. Ray-Bans can be seen on all of the team at Brawn GP. Following Jenson Button's great start to the year he is already backed by winners.
