The sun always shines on Oakley sun glasses.

Oakley sung glasses have a long history. It was in the mid-18th century when James Ayscough began experimenting with tinted lenses in spectacles. He believed that blue- or green-tinted glass could correct specific vision impairments. Incidentally, protection from sun's rays was not a concern of his. Sunglasses as such were introduced by Sam Foster in 1929 when he found a ready market on the beaches of Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he began selling Foster Grants from a Woolworth on the Boardwalk. Oakley sung glasses however, are special.

It is now well known that UV exposure predisposes people to premature cataract, age related macular degeneration, pterygium and UV keratitis. These health-risks instigated the patenting of the Polaroid filter by Edwin H. Land in 1936. Why all these facts? Because, if you talk about the whys and hows of Oakley sun glasses today, you will surely miss out these historical facts. For today, an entire generation has become polarized to sunglasses for an entirely different reason
