The Drop Ball Test was performed on the lenses where a steel ball is dropped on the lens from a height of 1.27m. After the chemical hardening, the impact resistance of Ray-ban glass is more than doubled. The lenses are shaped by diamond tools to achieve no distortion. This is done in order to achieve the greatest precision in the lens. Every single lens blocks 100% of the UVA and UVB harmful blue lights. UVA and UVB blue lights are no joking matter, so Ray Ban worked extra hard on making sure the harmful rays do not penetrate the lens.
Popularized by leading Hollywood men, bearded hipsters and classic dressers alike, it is arguably a very chic style for those seeking a refined and vintage look. Unfortunately, following the release of the film Falling Down in 1993, the browline style became synonymous with the angry, right-wing American. The downfall was compounded by the typical progression of eyewear trends and soon it became a Hollywood stereotype for geeks and middle-aged men.
Made from substitutable brows, bridges and eye wires, the glasses were an immediate success. Jumping to the 1960s, Ray-Ban was an impartially significant competitor in the market. Its owner Bausch & Lomb was one of the top producers of browline prescription glasses. This surge in demand prompted Ray-Ban (then owned by Bausch & Lomb) to create the clubmaster – a traditional browline frame with tinted sunglass lenses. The clubmaster went on to become their third best-selling sunglasses style of the 80’s behind the wayfarer and aviator, as it is today. By absorbing 85% of visible light and blocking out most of the blue light, green lenses provide remarkable color contrast.

Don’t worry, there is a specific reason for that too! The bold upper part of the frame looks similar to eyebrows over the lens part of the frame. s are defined by angular wayfarer-like styling on the upper rim of a sunglasses frame tapering down to a rimless portion on the bottom half of the frame. The style has risen and fallen in popularity over the years, but the original browline frame traces its roots to over half a century ago in post-WWII United States.
