Sports sunnies usually come in many shapes like rectangular, oval, wraparounds, etc. , all of which are perfect for most face types. Before we delve deeper, let’s look at the evolution of sports sunnies. The eyewear segment continues to evolve from being regarded as just a vision aid to a fashion statement that serves the purpose of safeguarding the vision health as well.
However, sports sunglasses have experienced a relatively slower pace of progress.
First things first, the sports sunglasses came into existence as an off shoot of the traditional sunglasses.
However, the first documented proof of this idea dates back to the roman era when emperor Nero wore gemstones over his eyes while watching a sporting event. All the effort was to prevent the harmful rays of the sun from hindering or damaging his vision.
While Nero may have sown the seeds of the concept of sports sunglasses, its usage gained popularity much later. Somewhere around 1960, the cyclists started relying on a differently designed sunglasses while participating in races. These glasses were even dubbed as flying goggles. They served a simple purpose, to keep the grit out of the eyes and of course provided the required vision correction. Ever since, the sports sunglasses have indeed come a long way.
