 Chris Simpson asked: Any time of year, sunglasses should be a part of your daily heath-consciousness routine. Sunglasses are not just for summers on the beach anymore or just for looking cool and mysterious. Designer sunglasses are no longer just for wealthy movie stars. Sunglasses are crucial in protecting your eyes from the permanent damaging effects of Ultra Violet radiation. Sunglasses in some form have been around for a very long time. Roman Emperor Nero made sunglasses by watching gladiator competitions through polished light emerald green gems held up to his eyes. The true invention of sunglasses was somewhere between 1268 and 1289. Before 1430, smoky quartz, flat-paned sunglasses were worn by Judges in the Courts of China to conceal any expression in their eyes. Prescription sunglasses were developed in Italy in 1430 and were later used by the Chinese Judges. In the mid 18th Century, James Ayscough developed blue and green corrective lenses, beginning the use of sunglasses for correcting optical impairments. Until 1730 when Edward Scarlett invented hardened sidepieces, there were problems in keeping eyeglasses propped on the nose. Glasses frames had been made from leather, bones and metal and sidepieces began as silk strips of ribbon that looped around the ears. Instead of loops, the Chinese added ceramic weights to the ends of the ribbons. Benjamen Franklin’s invention of bifocal lenses followed in 1780. By the 20th Century, sunglasses were used to protect the eyes from the sun. In 1929 Sam Foster’s “Foster Grants” were the first mass-produced sunglasses and they began the trend of sunglasses for fashion. In the 1930′s the Army Air Corps asked Bausch & Lomb to develop sunglasses that would efficiently reduce high-altitude sun glare for pilots and they came up with dark green tinted sunglasses that absorbed light through the yellow spectrum. Edward H. Land had invented the Polaroid filter and by 1936 he used it in making sunglasses and soon, sunglasses became “cool.” Movies stars began wearing sunglasses to hide behind and for fashion. Aviator glasses became popular with the movie stars and the general public in 1937 after Ray Ban developed the anti-glare sunglasses using polarization. The longer lens was created to give more protection to pilots’ eyes from light reflecting off their control panels. By the 1970′s Hollywood stars and fashion designers made a huge impact on the sunglasses market. Clothing designers and stars put their names on glasses and sunglasses and everyone had to have them. In 2007, stars are still hiding behind their oversized designer sunglasses, making fashion statements and protecting their eyes from the harmful effects of the Ultra Violet radiation. Today’s trendy designer sunglasses are a status symbol; however, in order to be fashionable in sunglasses, you do not have to give up quality. Quality designer sunglasses can be polarized to reduce the glare of sunlight reflecting off surfaces like the highway, cars, water or snow. Polarized sunglasses work by blocking off horizontal light reflections and only let in vertical light reflections. The polarization of designer sunglasses makes them fashionable in other areas of lifestyle like golfing, boating, biking, swimming, fishing and aircraft flying. Marketers of designer sunglasses target children who choose the same hot styles and brand-names as their parents and their idols. Sunglasses for children have Disney and cartoon characters in many colors, shapes and styles. Children’s designer sunglasses can also be polarized to block the harmful UV radiation. With modern technology and improvements, the making of sunglasses continues to evolve. We have gone from holding green gems up to our eyes to Oakley’s 2004 sunglasses with digital audio players built in. Create a video blog…instantly.
 Stephen Jenkins asked: There are now many different brands of designer sunglasses which have either evolved in their own right, such as Ray Ban or Oakley, or have been created as an accessory to the fashion house brands, such as Gucci and Versace etc. This article examines the backgrounds to these different designer brands, tracing back to their roots and finding out how they were first created and grew into the well-known high street fashion brands that we all desire to wear. Learn about Oakley, Rayban, Dolce and Gabbana, Diesel, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, and Versace. 1. Oakley SunglassesOakley is mostly known for their quality sunglasses and ski goggles, and was founded by Jim Jannard in California,USA in 1975, where he developed motorbike hand grips, and then sold them at motocross events. He called them “The Oakley Grip”, and were very different to any other grips riders had been using. In the 1980’s he moved on to goggles and sunglasses, and is now a world leader in innovative design, creating new and exciting products. UV and impact protection Plutonite is used for all Oakley lenses. It is made of polycarbonate, making the lenses lightweight, offering superior comfort, clarity and protection against ultraviolet radiation and impact resistance. In fact, this impact resistant material blocks out 100% of all UVA, UVB and UVC radiation. The protection is formulated into the lens material, as opposed to a thin surface film that can become scratched, leaving dilated pupils exposed to ultraviolet leaks. Shielding has nothing to do with the darkness or colour of the lens, so even clear non-tinted Oakley lenses will still provide full UV protection. The wrapped around, raked-back design of Oakley eyewear provides further protection by blocking UV from the periphery. The lens materials and frame geometries of Oakley sunglasses provide unsurpassed protection against high-velocity and high-mass impact. Iridium lens coatings This is a uniform filtering layer that optimizes contrast and minimizes glare, created by super-heated metallic oxides being fused to the lens at a molecular level, permanently bonding to the lens. Tuned to transmit from 9 to 92% of available light, the coatings are specifically formulated for optimal balance between reflection, transmission and absorption. Polarization Every single pair of Oakley polarized sunglasses achieves 99.9% efficiency in blocking polarized light waves. Harsh glare is caused by light waves bouncing off flat surfaces and water, and can be up to 10 times as bright as ambient light. With Oakley polarized lenses you’ll definitely keep the sun from impeding your vision. Oakley’s polarization technology surpasses industry standards for clarity, performance and durability. Common techniques of incorporating polarization films into lenses by lamination (using adhesive to sandwich the film between lens layers) and drop forming (sandwiching then heating and pressing over contoured forms) can cause haziness and optical distortion. Oakley uses an injection-moulding process to infuse the lens material around the filter. This liquid fusion creates bonding at a molecular level, allowing the filter to achieve the highest possible level of performance. Hydrophobic (repels water) The hydrophobic lenses repel water, oil perspiration and dust. Liquids simply bead off the lens surface without streaking, and any liquids that do not slide off the lens by gravity can be more easily wiped away than with other makes of sunglasses, making cleaning your lenses a breeze. Oleophobic (repels oils) The oleophobic characteristics end the frustration experienced with oils, fingerprints and other smudges on conventional eyewear. These marks on your Oakley sunglasses will easily wipe away without residue, eliminating leftover haze and reducing the effort required to clean the lenses. Anti-static The anti-static properties mean that dust, dirt and other particles are not drawn to the lens via static electricity. Dirt and dust degrade optical clarity, prompt more frequent cleaning and increase the likelihood of scratching. 3-Point fit Oakley sunglasses are engineered to maintain a comfortable, secure fit. The company’s patented “Three-Point Fit” ensures that each frame makes contact only at the bridge of the nose and behind the temples. This retains optics in perfect alignment and eliminates the discomfort of ordinary frames that hook the ears and mount with unbalanced pressure points. Some earstems are sheathed in “unobtainium”, an Oakley innovation that actually increases grip with perspiration. Unobtainium This is the name of Oakley’s hydrophilic (water-attracting) synthetic rubber that increases grip when wet, usually applied to the contact points of the sunglasses (nose and sides of the head). A very similar material was used in Oakley’s first product, the “Oakley grips”, used on motorcycle hand grips (mentioned earlier). Frame composition Engineering breakthroughs in structural materials allow Oakley to produce lightweight, high performance eyewear frames that maintain superior comfort and protection. The polymers used in “O Matter” frames (a nylon composite) are formulated for high durability, as well as controlled flexibility for improved safety during impact. To produce the ultra–strong, ultra-lightweight chassis of Oakley wire frames, five metallic compounds (including titanium) are fused into a single C-5 alloy. Both frame materials maintain resistance to ultraviolet radiation, humidity, thermal shock and chemical exposure. X Metal Oakley “X Metal” is a titanium alloy, and is the only 3-D sculpted, hypoallergenic, all-metal frame on earth. Its phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio maximizes comfort and durability. To maintain precise optical geometries, production pieces are analysed under real-time X-ray scanning and undergo five-axis machining in computerized systems that maintain 0.0005” tolerance. 2. Ray-Ban Sunglasses Ray-Ban was founded in 1937 as a manufacturer of quality sunglasses. Ray-Ban introduced the two most imitated sunglasses in the world, the “Aviator” (issued free to the United States air force pilots) and the “Wayfarer”. It all started in 1920 when lieutenant John MacCready returned from a balloon flight, complaining that the bright sun had permanently damaged his eyes. He asked Bausch & Lomb to develop a pair of sunglasses that would not only provide the necessary protection, but also look good. A few years later, in 1937, Bausch & Lomb produced the “Anti-Glare”, consisting of a lightweight gold-plated metal frame and green-tinted mineral glass lenses, which filtered out the ultraviolet rays. Pilots in the United States air force were issued these “Aviator” sunglasses free of charge. The aviator style soon became famous when, during World War 2, General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beaches in the Philippines. Photographers recorded the moment, and their pictures showed him wearing these aviator sunglasses – which then soon became popular all over America. Ray-Bans have been used in various Hollywood films, starting with “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” in 1961, starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. The “Blues Brothers”, starring Dan Akroyd and John Belushi showed them famously wearing their “Wayfarer” style Ray-Bans. We mustn’t forget, of course, Tom Cruise in the 1983 film “Risky Business”. In 2006, the Honda Formula One Racing team members all wore the Ray-Ban 4075 model during the racing season. Ray-Ban is now owned by the Luxottica group, and their headquarters are in Italy. Ray-Ban sunglasses continue to be very popular with a large range of exciting styles. 3. Dolce and Gabbana Sunglasses Dolce and Gabanna is a high-end fashion house, founded by Italian designers Domenico Dolce from Palermo, Sicily, and Stefano Gabanna from Milan, Italy. Dolce and Gabanna are very popular among the Hollywood stars, designing clothes for Kylie Minogue, Madonna and many others. Although the two men separated in 2005, the business remains unchanged and both Dolce and Gabanna continue to design together. They endeavour to create the best designs, rather than being concerned with starting trends, and just glancing through their collection you can see for yourself that the designs are absolutely stunning. 4. Diesel Sunglasses The Diesel brand has been around since 1978, manufacturing jeans and casual clothing, along with accessories,including Diesel sunglasses. Diesel products can be purchased from around 10,000 shops and boutiques all over the world. The Diesel company was founded by Renzo Rosso in 1978. He and his design team always wanted to lead their own path in fashion, being slightly different from the norm, and so Diesel has become a fashion leader, rather than a fashion follower. Their manufacturing methods and quality control guarantees an outstanding quality product, with an individual style that is refreshingly different from the usual trends. So, if you want to have that certain look of individuality and style, then Diesel sunglasses are well worth considering. 5. Gucci Sunglasses Gucci is perhaps one of the worlds most prestigious and famous fashion brands. It was founded by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Italy in 1921. Gucci is the biggest selling Italian brand in the world and has about 425 stores around the world. They also hold the world record for the most expensive pair of jeans ever made – an amazing US $3,134, in Milan in 1998! In 1938 Gucci expanded, and opened a boutique in Rome. Guccio Gucci himself designed many of the company’s most notable products, such as the bamboo-handled handbag in 1947, which is still manufactured today. Four of his sons helped in running the company and leading it forwards, and after their father’s death in 1953, Aldo Gucci was instrumental in opening the company’s first boutiques in London, Paris and New York. Like many companies, the Gucci company has had its ups and downs over the years through family quarrels and poor business decisions, but despite this, Gucci remains one of the premier luxury goods brands in the world. Have a look at a few Gucci sunglasses and you will soon see that the designs embody that sense of luxury and extravagance. So, if you want to get noticed, there’s nothing quite like a pair of “Gucci’s” to give you that sense of feeling special and sophisticated. You’ll always be glad you invested in a pair of Gucci sunglasses! 6. Hugo Boss Sunglasses Hugo Boss is a well known fashion brand extending worldwide, with a chain of shops in over 100 countries and an annual turnover of half a billion dollars. Hugo Boss founded his clothing company in Germany, in 1923 near Stuttgart, where he is still based today. Despite bankruptcy in 1930, due to the difficult economic climate in Germany at that time, he set up a new business in 1931, and supplied the uniforms of the SS guards. Hugo Boss died in 1948, but his business carried on, and began making suits. In the late 50’s, 60’s and 70’s fashion began to really take off, and Hugo Boss suits soon became known for their fashionable quality. Like many other fashion names, the company has diversified into fragrances and also, of course, the stunning Hugo Boss sunglasses. When others around you notice you’re wearing Hugo Boss sunglasses, they won’t fail to be impressed. 7. Prada Sunglasses Prada was created in 1913 by Mario Prada in Milan, Italy. He designed handbags, shoes, suitcases etc, and the brand now signifies luxury and style. Miuccia Prada, Mario’s granddaughter, took over the company in 1978, and moved the Prada label forwards, designing a new look handbag – simple and sleek – and now Prada stands for elegant clean lines with luxurious fabrics and materials. Accessories, such as Prada sunglasses, are also extremely high quality, again showing those elegant clean lines with attention to detail that give Prada sunglasses their subtle style and classy image. The Prada brand is renowned worldwide, and the distinct Prada triangular logo is instantly recognizable. As soon as you put on a pair of Prada sunglasses you soon realize you own something special. 8. Tommy Hilfiger Sunglasses Tommy Hilfiger comes from a large family in New York state, America. While still at school, he started his career making jeans, in 1969. With no formal training, he started designing clothes that were different from the usual styles. He moved to New York city in 1979 to further his fashion career, and brought out his first collection in 1985. He has since won numerous awards, not only for designing clothes and accessories, but also for his work in helping young American teenagers, encouraging them to improve in their education, and promoting their physical well-being (through playing sports, etc). Tommy Hilfiger sunglasses have a special style all of their own, with a distinguished trendy look that is refreshingly different – sure to get you noticed as someone with taste and an eye for style. In a word – stunning! 9. Versace Sunglasses Gianni Versace was born in Reggio di Calabria, Italy. His mother was a dressmaker, so Gianni began to learn about clothing at an early age, helping his mother find precious stones and gold braid which could be embroidered onto the dresses. He studied architecture, and then moved to Milan when he was 25 to work in fashion design. He the 1970’s he started to become noticed through his fashionable knitwear, and he was asked to design some leather and suede collections. A few years later, he presented his first signature collection for ladies wear in Milan, closely followed by a menswear collection. Over the next years, his reputation soon grew to become one of the great icons of the fashion industry. Unfortunately in 1997, as he was coming home from his usual morning walk along Ocean Drive where he lived in Miami, Florida, Gianni Versace was shot and killed outside his ocean-front house. He was murdered by a man called Andrew Cunanan, who committed ******* shortly afterwards using the same handgun that had been used on Versace. Gianni Versace was buried in Lake Como, Italy. Versace remains one of the most talented and colourful designers of the 20th century, and the Versace brand is one of the worlds leading international fashion houses. The collection of Versace sunglasses shows his flare for design with elegant, sophisticated styles, carried on by Gianni’s sister, Donatella Versace, the new head of design of the Versace fashion house.

 Kent Hamilton asked: Not only do discount and designer sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays, they are a great compliment to anyone’s wardrobe. Your eyes, just like your skin, need protection from the sun. I’m sure you’ve heard of UVA, UVC, UVB etc. These are the types or bands of ultraviolet light that comes from UV light. For each of these lights has a different level of sun’s rays. Eye disorders have not been linked to UVA light but protecting the eyes from any damage should be of the utmost importance. Of all three types of light, it has been said that the one that causes the most damage is UVB. It burns the skin and damages the eyes, which could result in a diagnosis of cataracts.

 Susan Dean asked: It really depends on whom you ask about designer sunglasses being worth it or not. Many people will tell you they are and then many people will tell you they are not. It all comes down to priorities. What one person holds dear another may not. Some people believe if you pay a lot of money for designer sunglasses then you have the best but what is the best? Sure, paying for a name brand you would think would guarantee you a pair of glasses that are made from very good materials and would give you maximum UV protection from the sun. And most likely this is true for many brands. But there are still reputable manufacturers out there that make maximum UV protection sunglasses that are also fashionable and long lasting for budget prices. They just do not have a designer name attached to them. For the majority of people who do buy sunglasses, a designer name is not important and that is probably because they know they cannot afford them so they look to prices they can afford. The fashion industry is a very fierce industry and in this day and age there are many manufacturers producing sun protective eyewear so it will always be a competitive market. This is good for you the consumer because that means bargains. If you look around and in particularly online you will find that there are lots of opportunities to find a great looking pair of sunglasses that also offer maximum UV protection. You do not need designer brand names. But of course if you do want a designer pair then you will also find discounted options when looking online. The important thing is that you find a pair that you like the look of, has high UV protection and is at a price that you can afford. Any product is only worth it if you can afford it.

 Sunny Glassco asked: Undoubtedly, sunglasses from famous designers, like Gucci, Armani, Chanel, Fendi, Versace, et al, are considered as prized possessions by people with limited means of income. Not many can afford such luxuries and look for cheap alternatives. Replica designer sunglasses offer a perfect solution to this problem. However, often, people confuse fake designer sunglasses with the replica designer sunglasses. This is because they get so excited by the low price of these sunglasses that latent defects get easily obliterated. They fail to notice the subtle differences between the two. Minor differences in design apart, there is a sea of difference in the material used in manufacturing replica and fake designer sunglasses. As the name suggests, ‘fake’ designer sunglasses are nothing but fake in every regard. They are cheap imitation of the authentic designer sunglasses. The replica designer sunglasses are also discount sunshades, but their quality is close to, if not equal to, the original ones. Whereas the replicas use top quality material and UV protection shield in manufacturing the designer sunglasses, the fakes use inferior material with virtually no protection from harmful sun’s rays. Price-wise, there is not much difference between the replica and fake designer sunglasses. The fake ones are deliberately priced a little lower than the replicas so as to lure more gullible customers. However, using cheap and inferior fakes seriously compromise their health. Obviously, price is a big factor for any purchase but you should always be well informed about the contents of the product you are purchasing for it may seriously impact your health. This rule also applies in case of replicas versus fakes debate. The bottom line is ‘health is wealth’ and there can’t be any compromise on your health just for the sake of a few dollars. You can always earn the money in the course of your employment or business, but any harm to your eyes could be even irreversible. Essentially, the debate between replica designer sunglasses and the fake designer sunglasses is not on price issue. Rather, the whole focus has to be on the quality and hygiene of these products. And this issue is comprehensively settled in favor of replica designer sunglasses for using top quality material to preserve the delicate organs in your eyes. Fake designer sunglasses are best avoided for a healthy and prosperous life. Caffeinated Content
 Catherine Harvey asked: There are several reasons why a person loses their sight. For those who have had traumas to the head there is obviously no way of preventing this knock on result. For many others, including those who lose their sight later in life due to age-related molecular degeneration, there is much that can be done to prevent this situation occurring. The simple matter of wearing a pair of sunglasses is all that is required to save the sight of so many people. The damage is done in the younger years that leads to blindness later on and we would all do well to remember that. It is no good being complacent and thinking that there is nothing wrong with our eyes now and that there is no genetic optical faults in our family, this guarantees nothing. Neither does it matter, for those shallow enough to think it does, whether or not we wear designer sunglasses. What is important is that we get the highest UV protection possible and wear them outdoors as much as possible but especially when the sun is at its strongest, such as mid day during the summer months. For many people it is already too late to do anything about but help is at hand. In the field of optical surgery, two ground breaking techniques have been carried out. One involving a ‘bionic’ eye means the patient can differentiate between light, dark, shadows and shapes. This obviously isn’t perfect vision but it’s more than the patient had before and can make a great deal of difference to their quality of life. An ultra thin electronic receiver and electrode panel are implanted into the eye and attached to the retina. The patient wears a pair of glasses that are fitted with a tiny camera and transmitter which sends a wireless signal to the receiver. These messages are then passed along the optic nerve to the brain and sight is partially restored. This new technology comes from the US and they are still developing it in the hope that the camera will actually be able to be implanted within the eye itself. This truly will make it a bionic eye but if only the patient had worn designer sunglasses, any sunglasses, when they were younger the need for this surgery could be avoided. For the hundreds of thousands of patients in the UK with a genetic inherited blindness, designer sunglasses would have made no difference. However, there is new gene therapy that is being perfected to restore sight for these people too. Medical trials began back in February to imbed genes into the eyes of people with genetic faults whose retinas are unable to detect light properly. Scientists from the University College London are hopeful that this will lead to a cure for genetic blindness in the future. The sad fact about this particular eye disease is that it affects people so young. Leber’s congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an inherited condition and can lead to blindness before a sufferer leaves their teens. One such patient was only eighteen when he went blind and he has been over the moon with the results of his surgery saying that it has improved the quality of his life beyond a doubt and he is no longer restricted in what he can do. For the rest of us who are fortunate enough to not have these problems, we should never take our eyesight for granted. If you need designer sunglasses to not feel a little odd in sunglasses then by all means get them. It is even possible to get designer sunglasses with a prescription so if you need glasses, you will appreciate even more how difficult it could be without your sight. designer sunglasses
 Roger Glass asked: Sunglasses are visual aids with darkened and polarized lenses, protecting the eyes from sharp glare of the sunlight which may harm the cornea. Sharp rays and bright light from the sun make our eyes quite uncomfortable, especially when we are outdoors.

 Catherine Harvey asked: You’ve donned your Christian Lacroix designer suit, your Jimmy Choo designer sling back shoes and grabbed your Prada designer handbag. You’re doing lunch with your friend at the trendy Nobu restaurant where you intend to have the four calorie designer salad consisting of two olives, an iceberg lettuce leaf and half a tomato. Of course, spring will be here soon and it just won’t do to be seen in last season’s white skin so after lunch a trip to the sun beds to top up with that orange tint you think suits you so well is essential. Now picture a totally different scenario. You open your wardrobe and can’t tell which outfit is Dolce and Gabbana and which is Top Shop. Feeling around for your shoes, are those Manolo Blahnik or Tesco gardening shoes? You think you’ve got it all together when you search for your handbag but are unable to tell the difference between Gucci and Dorothy Perkins. White sticks do not come in designer styles but does it really matter now? After being driven to the restaurant, you have to put all your faith into the kitchen staff when you order your calorie quota in the form of egg white omelette and low fat water and trust they don’t give you the full fat version. To avert the above disaster, looking after the health of your eyes is an absolute must. By all means, wear the designer clothes and kit yourself out with designer accessories. However, be sure not to overlook the designer sunglasses. Make sure they block at least 99% of UV rays and you could avoid the above state of affairs. As well as wearing designer sunglasses, ditch the ridiculous faddy diets and eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals if you want to avoid the damage the sun can do to your eyes and save your sight. By all means enjoy the sun, we need the vitamins we absorb from the rays, but always use protection. Sit in the sun, wearing your designer sunglasses and eat fruit and vegetables to your heart’s content. Nobody ever became obese through eating too many fruit and vegetables. In fact, eat a diet rich in yellow and orange fruit and vegetables, along with green leafy vegetables to include lettuce (not the iceberg variety), carrots, mango, spinach, peppers, oranges, broccoli and any others that take your fancy and you can reduce your risk of developing age-related macular degeneration later in life. Nuts, seeds and dairy products are also sight savers. It is the Lutein and Zeaxanthin in these foods that will help you in the fight against blindness. It’s all very well seeing celebrities in the press, stepping out of clubs in the middle of the night, with their micro bodies and huge designer sunglasses but do they know what they are doing? Wearing sunglasses at night makes you a fashion victim, not a trend setter. It makes you look silly, as does a woman having the body of a twelve year old boy. These celebrities are doing untold damage to their bodies and the health of their eyes by their extreme diets and unhealthy practices. So, continue to enjoy your top level fashions, enjoy your designer restaurants but make sure you enjoy your food, eat enough to fill you up and above all, enjoy your designer sunglasses.
