Vintage Ray-Ban aviators by Bausch & Lomb
My friend James recently bought a decent pair of vintage Ray-Ban aviators. The 1980s shades, then made by Bausch & Lomb (which would later concentrate on contact lenses (boo!)), have glass not plastic lenses, giving them a weighty quality. I hadn't...

Yves Saint Lauren YSL vintage sunglasses: Straighten that brow
Found two great new blogs tonight - new to me anyway. The first is Vintage Frames Company which I'll be having a thoroughly good look through soon, and the second - which Dr Shapiro at the VFC put me on to - is ZONE7STYLE , "the UK's leading...
Tag Heuer 27 degrees of invisible hinge - a sunglasses design classic
Anyone following a little more than average my optical obsession will have noticed a slight compulsion towards hinges. Mykita has two great hinges, IC! Berlin one, Alain Mikli another (probably more), Face à Face another, Lindberg has a screwless affair...
Round pink sunglasses. Yum
Hats off to Lis in the Buddka . Styletastic. Anyone who's hung around opticians a little will have seen the dummy lenses that they use to show off the different colours available should you fancy some presciption sunnies. Next time, you see two that...
Zach Galifianakis wears Blublocker aviator sunglasses in the Hangover

Christian Roth aviators - a different take on a classic look
I've failed thus far to find an even close answer to Mike_1992's tweet wanting to know who these aviators are by , but my quest remains and we (me and my slowly developing spectacle blogging community) will soon come up with a half decent answer...
Ray-Ban Clubmasters - browline for the Fräulein?
Ray-Ban Clubmasters are likely the most famous glasses of the " browline " style. This young lady is unlikely a Fraulein, however, as this picture was taken in Los Angeles, again by HiStyley.com Model featured is Ray-Ban RB3016 . Read More....
Maison Martin Margiela visor sunglasses - but what are they like on?
A few fellow glasses bloggers ( Sunglasses on Stage , Everything Sunglasses )have written about Maison Martin Margiela sunglasses over the past couple of weeks. I love them too, they're terrific, but have a slight concern about how they actually look...
Anyone know who these aviators are by?
... it's not the best pic, so it's hard to tell. Any suggestions of who they're by or of similar shades would be great. Mike_1992 posted these on Twitter. Read More...
Jim Carlsberg's - probably the best opticians in the world
Jim, I really like those frames but if you really are the best optician in the world, I expect an email detailing the make and model number by the end of the month. Read More...

Perspex white sunglasses in Los Angeles

Oliver Peoples glasses suit anybody - and here's the proof
Have I just doubled, quadrupled even, the number of pictures on Eye Wear Glasses? Big thanks to Dafna Talmon who's photographed hundreds of people wearing her fantastic Oliver Peoples Tycoon glasses. Brownie point for those who can spot the celebrities...
