I am short sighted and have to wear glasses pretty much constantly to have a full level of vision, although I have no problems seeing close-up. I haven't got round to ordering a pair of prescription sunglasses yet as I have not found anything suitable, so when the sun comes out I either have the option of being blinded by the high levels of light, or being blinded by wearing normal non-prescription sunglasses and having my field of vision reduced. I usually switch to sunglasses when I'm walking around as I think it's really important to protect my eyes from the sun, and my favoured sunglasses are these Rayban Aviators.

I bought a pair of these Ray-Ban 3025 Aviators last year during a trip to the USA. For years I'd been wearing the sort of mid-range sunglasses that you buy in the fashion shops in the UK, and on this particular trip, I managed to break my latest pair and needed a replacement pair because I was about to do a fair amount of driving in the country. Hence, looking around in the shops in the New York, I noticed these Ray-Bans Aviators for the equivalent of £70 in a main stream store, and knowing that they are upwards of £100 in the UK, I knew that these were an absolute bargain. Hence, I bought them. Now Ray-Bans are always considered to be the Rolls Royce of ...  Read the complete review

I have always liked Aviators and have owned a number of cheaper pairs over the years. Being the shallow person that I am, I buy them mainly so I feel like I'm in Top Gun rather than out of concern for my vision. After I sat on my last pair of aviators, they bent out of all recognition and I was heartbroken. I decided to buy myself a nice, new, pair that would stand the test of time. Luckily, I had just come into a bit of money and decided to splash out. I managed to buy myself a nice pair of Ray-Bans for £89 with mirrored lenses. A few days later I received them. Now it was just a case of waiting for a sunny day... I wondered whether this particular purchase ...  Read the complete review

I had been after a pair of RayBan aviators for a while when they went into the sale in Vision Express. I didn't know which style to choose are there are so many different designs and styles, varying in lense and also frame colour. I decided to go for the mirrored silver lens style aviators because I like the idea that they totally hide your face and eyes which is what I like in sunglasses as I wear them mostly for fashion rather than practical reasons. Like most good brands of sunglasses, these sunglasses have full UV protection and are very dark when you look out of them. I know this sounds like an obvious trait of sunglasses but the mirrored lenses maakes ...  Read the complete review

Back in the 90's I never imagined I would own a pair of Ray Ban aviator sunglasses. As far as I was concerned they were far too 80's, Top Gun, uncool but fast forward a few years later and having become cool again with everyone from Cheryl Cole to Brad Pitt wearing them I had to have a pair for myself. According to an article I read, Ray-Bans were founded in 1937 by Bausch & Lomb. They were introduced for the United States Army Air Corps. Their introduction was quite an interesting story. Lieutenant John MacCready returned from a balloon flying adventure and complained that the sun had permanently damaged his eyes. He contacted Bausch & Lomb asking ...  Read the complete review
