The History of Sunglasses: Some historians believe the origins of sunglasses can be traced to early Roman times and 12th century China.

Legends speak of Chinese judges wearing crystals to conceal their thoughts when hearing cases. In the modern era sunglasses as we know them today are an innovation of the 1900s.

Inexpensive glasses were first mass produced in 1929 as Foster Grants. Polarized glasses were introduced in 1936 and soon became fashion statements.

Sunglasses are more than a style statement. They have many properties in addition to making you look and feel good. Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful rays of the sun.

They shade your eyes from excessive glare. Numbered sunglasses help users see better. Tints are beneficial for activities like fishing, boating, and skiing. Dark tinted sunglasses reduce eyestrain during long haul driving. Coatings on sunglasses have anti-reflective properties. They frame the face and give you a distinctive look.

Sunglasses protect the eyes from dust and insects. Sunglasses help hide emotions during grief. High quality sunglasses prevent distortion of vision. Wearing sunglasses prevent air borne eye infections.
