Eyeglass wearers, remember the days of going outside on a bright sunny day, and squinting all day long? The development of prescription sunglasses has evolved over the last few decades. The transformation in lenses has certainly expanded from your basic Top Gun aviators into style, fashion, and protection.

The actual idea of sunglasses being what they are today, dates back to roughly 1929, and Sam Foster’s American Sunglass Brand. Rather than standing out in a negative context for wearing tinted sunglasses outside, the look swung to glitz, glamour, and Hollywood.

In 1936, Edwin H. Land created the polarizing concept in lenses. That concept brought on anti-glare lenses for pilots, outdoor enthusiasts, and yes, the popular aviator shaped frames to feel the need for speed. This made it possible for people with glasses to see clearer when outdoors.

Aside from fashion, sunglasses today also fill a need for eye protection. Having polarizing lenses to help protect against UV and UVAB rays are essential for anyone that spends a good amount of time outside. In terms of just sports, there has become a whole category of wide, wrapped lenses to protect the eyes with polarized, anti-glare, clear technology. Along the same lines, consumers can also purchase photochromic or transition lenses. Mirrored lenses are also great for preventing eye strain outdoors in the sun.

The market for sunglasses has spawned over dozens of different manufacturers that cater to fashion, function, and certain features. One of the originals, Ray-Ban is very prominent in the sunglasses space. Athletes will turn to Bolle’ for that sporty look. The high fashionista crowd will turn to Versace and Ray-ban. The retail space for sunglasses certainly has something for everyone.

As someone who owns prescription sunglasses, I did not entertain the idea until just a few years ago. Being outdoors a lot with sports, the sun just began to take a toll on my eyes. But now with a prescription, polarized lenses, objects become clearer, and the strain on my eyes is much more reduced. Now on bright sunny days, eyeglass wearers can just put on their very own prescription sunglasses, see sharper, and squint no longer.
