The Aviator got it's name due to its original purpose of existence, which is to protect aviator's or pilot’s eyes against the sun while flying.
Earlier a Lieutenant John A. Macready damaged his eyes after returning from a hot air balloon flying expedition.
He contacted Bausch & Lomb asking them to create a sun-glass that could protect the eyes of an aviator or aircraft pilot.
In May 7, 1937, Bausch & Lomb introduced these patented eye-ware, a prototype called Anti-Glare that is extremely light.
The frame weighing just 150 grams.
Aviator sunglasses were manufactured for American pilots also known as pilot's glasses and the United States Army Air Corps pilots immediately adopted these sunglasses.
During World War II, United State soldiers also used the Aviator sunglasses to protect their eyes from the Pacific heat and sun.
Beside US Military, the Aviator are also popular among the French soldier at that time.
Ray-Ban start selling the glasses to the public a year after they were first introduced.
