How do you measure aviator sunglasses?

Aviator sunglasses can be measure by using a ruler with centimeters on it. Measure the widest part of one of the lenses, multiply this number by 2 and then add the width of the nose bridge which will give you the size of the aviator sunglasses in centimeters. Another way is to measure across your face with a ruler and convert to centimeters then find a pair of aviator sunglasses that will work for you. You can visit my website at Aviator-Sunglasses.net where I provide even more information on how to measure aviator sunglasses.


Where did the first sunglasses come from?

Sunglasses have an ancient origin. In prehistoric times devices made from tusks with small horizontal slits in them were worn to reduce the glare from the sun. Colored lenses of a sort were worn in Greek and Roman times. An optician named James Ayscough began making glasses with tinted lenses in the mid 17 hundreds. He didn't make them to protect from the Sun rather to alter vision. Sunglasses for the masses were first sold by Sam Foster in the 1920s. He named them Foster Grant's. Does that name ring a bell?
