With this in mind, Optician selected five versions of the timeless silhouette to see what members of the public thought about the styles and their respective price points. The five models on test were a non-branded pair from a high street retailer (1), Mirage from Kirk Originals (2), Seventy Five from Polaroid (3), 1009 from Evatik (4) and the RB3641 from Ray-Ban (5).

Before opinions were sought, participants were invited to informally select what price point they thought each sunglass belonged to. The five options were - high street, entry-level, mid-price, designer and high end. The aim of the quiz wasn't to catch the participants out, but to get them thinking and talking about each sunglass and its feel, build and style - along with which one was their favourite.
