The lenses are engineered to block 100% of harmful UV rays.
The design can often replicate the round sunglasses but used a lighter shade or altered plastic on the bottom to showcase the upper part of the frame. Many people believe that Clubmaster sunglasses were first created in the 1950s. As mentioned earlier and at that time, they were known as browline glasses.
At Designer Optics, we take pride in being one of the largest online marketplaces for prescription sunglasses and eyeglasses. The hippie subculture of the 70’s deemed browlines conformist, and the once-popular style died out except among conservatives and the elderly. Then there was a resurgence in popularity in the 80’s when Bruce Willis wore a pair of tinted browlines in the Moonlighting series. Inspired by the 50’s, the unmistakable design of the ray ban new wayfarer Classic is worn by cultural intellectuals, leaders, and celebrities alike. The website is intended solely for EbLens to sell products direct to end consumers, and therefore purchase of products for resale is strictly prohibited.
Even though lenses are the most expensive part, most designer sunglasses will charge you enormous amounts for the frames and place fairly basic lenses in them. They do let light in, so they’re not ideal for sporting or other activities that require real sun and wind protection. Clubmasters are an excellent pair of sunglasses to wear with business attire, but it still lend themselves perfectly to casual wear. However, it wasn’t until Bruce Willis wore the tinted lenses that Ray-Ban realized there was a market for a sunglass version. Immediately after seeing them on Moonlighting, Ray-Ban launched the first browline sunglasses, which they called the Clubmaster.
Traditionally, the upper — known as the brow or cap — is made from a thick plastic or acetate that is also used on the temples. However, the remainder of the frame, including the bridge and eyewires, are usually made of metal. In more contemporary frames, the design can sometimes replicate a round sunglass but use a lighter shade or different plastic on the bottom to showcase the upper portion of the frame.

The vintage browline ray ban new wayfarer frames have origins in early 1950s Americana culture in highly cultured and intellectual circles. The sleek wire frame wrapping under the lenses and clean lines created a sophisticated confidence that was able to circumvent the “geek” and “nerd” connotations.

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 clubmaster 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.
